Most of the ones you list have packages, I believe. If you find one that doesn't use dh-make-perl. You can also use db-make-per= l if you need a newer version than what is packaged. I did that to get the most recent SpamAssassin on my box running woody. dh-make-perl - Create debian packages from perl modules I use something like the following to locate packages perl modules. apt-cache search dbi | grep ^lib | grep perl ciao, der.hans --=20 # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.AZOTO.org/ # Knowledge is useless unless it's shared. - der.hans
