Install perl-Moose on Linux Server

If you were trying to install Perl-Moose on your server then there is chance that you have got any of these errors,

This often comes, when you are trying to install Moose from yum by using,

yum install perl-Moose

yum install 'perl(Moose)'

If this happens, then you can still try to install perl-moose using CPAN command,

perl -MCPAN -e"install Moose"

If this doesn’t work for you then you will need to install Moose from tar package. To fix this and get back to what you were doing proceed as below,

Install Perl, required Compiler and Tools

yum install gcc

yum install 'perl(Digest::HMAC)'

yum install 'perl(Module::Build)'

For Debian server, you can use below command. Rest will be same,

apt-get install build-essential

Pull Moose Perl package, Unzip and Install it

Note: For latest perl-Moose package you can refer to, http://search.cpan.org/dist/Moose/

Issue below commands one by one from shell,

http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/E/ET/ETHER/Moose-2.1604.tar.gz

tar xzvvf Moose*

cd Moose*

perl Makefile.PL

make install

And you should be good to go as this should now completely install Perl-Moose on your server.
