Perl Module installation

[s25a]

Hi,

I setup a freebsd 11 and also installed perl5. Now I need to install a Module: IO::Socket::SSL
Do anybody know how to do this? I found an article here: https://perlmaven.com/install-perl-modules-on-freebsd

I could install more than 40 module with this however no IO Module.

Thanks S

With cpan <modulename>?

Hi, thanks a lot.

I did this:

pkg install p5-Net-SSLeay
pkg install p5-IO-Socket-SSL

Then

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install IO::Socket::SSL

It responded with an error in make.

WARNING
No library for handling international domain names found.
It will work but croak if you try to verify an international name against
a certificate.
It's recommended to install either Net::IDN::Encode, Net::LibIDN or URI version>=1.50

Should I do external tests?
These test will detect if there are network problems and fail soft,
so please disable them only if you definitely don't want to have any
network traffic to external sites.  [Y/n] n

Any idea what to do?

# pkg install security/p5-IO-Socket-SSL is all you need to do.
You don't need cpan stuff, it's already installed. Just use it in your Perl script.
