Perl Packages for Debian
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
perl - Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language.
|
|
perl-base - The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister.
|
|
perl-doc - Perl documentation.
|
|
perl-debug - Debug-enabled Perl interpreter.
|
|
libperl5.30 - Shared Perl library.
|
|
perl-modules-5.30 - Architecture independent core Perl modules.
|
|
libperl-dev - Perl library: development files.
|
|
|
|
To provide a minimal working perl, the ``perl-base'' package provides
|
|
the /usr/bin/perl binary plus a basic set of libraries.
|
|
|
|
The remainder of the application is included in the perl, perl-modules-5.30
|
|
and perl-doc packages.
|
|
|
|
See the 'README.source' file in the perl source package for information
|
|
on building the package.
|
|
|
|
perl-suid removed
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
suidperl was removed upstream with 5.12, so the perl-suid package which
|
|
used to be distributed in Debian has been removed too. Possible alternatives
|
|
include using a simple setuid C wrapper to execute a perl script from a
|
|
hard-coded location, or using a more general tool like sudo.
