Googling I found nothing helpful, at least as near as I can tell not
being a programmer.
Anyone have a clue?


If I do

apt-cache search perl std class

In the results is:

libclass-std-perl - Support for creating standard "inside-out" classes

Which is probably what you want. For CPAN modules in the repositories,
generally you find they take the name of the module on CPAN:

Std::Class

Make it all lower-case:

std::class

Replace any double-colons with a hyphen:

std-class

then put it between 'lib' and '-perl':

libstd-class-std-perl

"Unable to locate libstd-class-std-perl"

I did find one page that suggested installing libclass-std-utils-perl
(also for creating standard "inside-out" classes according to the package info) it listed libversion-perl as a dependency which I also installed, but afterward, running "perl -e 'use Class::Std'", it yielded the same error about not locating Class/Std.pm - same as when trying to install the software, which the maintainer tells me means I don't have the module installed.

Ah well... I thought I might learn something but according to the maintainer, it's an obscure and not commonly installed module and thought it might be a successful work around if I could find the package and install it.

Appreciate the reply.
