Thanks everyone.

I installed pmtools with apt-get install pmtools and then did a pminst
like below:

pminst |grep Time::HiRes

and that seemed to work that with apt-cache


there were are few modules that were not installed and I could not find
in apt-cache, so for those I can possibly use db-make-perl or perl
-MCPAN -eshell
