2023.05.04: Pictures taken waiting for cpan to get and install a new Perl module (Geek? Moi?)- Home Office, CT

super useful 'apt-file' search utility

Yo guys, suppose you are running a perl code from someone, and get a error while execution like :

Can’t locate Parallel/ForkManager.pm in @INC (@INC contains: blah blah)

It means you are missing ForkManager.pm (ofcourse), but how to install it, which library corresponds to it???

To find the right package, use ‘apt-file’ utility but install it first as:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apt-file sudo apt-file update

Now search the module

sudo apt-file search ForkManager.pm

which gives

libproc-processtable-perl: /usr/lib/perl5/Proc/ProcessTable.pm

so , just install the library then

sudo apt-get install libproc-processtable-perl

Thats it, go and have fun. Cheers
