Hello,
I need to install a perl IO-Stty module for but can not find any Gentoo documentation on how to achieve this.
Any Ideas out there?
Thanks

I don't think it's in portage. Use CPAN:
| Code: | | $ perl -MCPAN -e shell; |
It is probably the friendliest, easiest way to install Perl modules not found in portage.

Do you mean that I should try to emerge a package called cpan?? Then use it to install the IO-Stty module??
Thanks

Hello,
In the meantime, I have attempted to emerge a package called g-cpan (it was the only one I could find that seemed applicable). However it appears it will complain:
| Code: | host@domain ~ # emerge -pv g-cpan
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[nomerge ] app-portage/g-cpan-0.15.0-r1
[nomerge ] dev-perl/Shell-EnvImporter-1.04
[nomerge ] dev-perl/Class-MethodMaker-2.10
[nomerge ] dev-perl/module-build-0.28.08 USE="test"
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/extutils-parsexs-2.18
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/version-0.73
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.19
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/module-build-0.28.08 USE="test"
!!! Error: circular dependencies:
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/module-build-0.28.08', 'merge') depends on
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/extutils-parsexs-2.18', 'merge') (medium-soft)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.19', 'merge') (medium-soft)

('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.19', 'merge') (hard)
!!! Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
!!! disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies. |
Any Ideas, if this is:
| Code: | 1. The right package (package: g-cpan)?
2. If it is the right package, how to resolve the circular dependency?
|
Thanks

CPAN comes with perl, just type the above command and follow the prompts.

Hello,
As of this morning (only available time I had) .. I performed the following:
| Code: | prompt$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan > install IO::Stty |
This seems to have performed the perl module installation that I required. Will update the post with "SOLVED"
Thanks "MostAwesomeDude" for your help

there is also a dev-perl/IO-Tty in portage, but it says it does tty and pty, not sure if that is the one you need. (a lot of those CPAN modules are in portage under dev-perl)
cheers

Hello,
Have two questions:
| Code: |
1. How do you load a perl module?
2. How can I list all perl modules loaded/installed .. to verify they are in fact available/installed?
|
Thanks
