Well, it looks like I’ll finally get a chance to try perl 5.10 — it’s installed by default. I wonder if that bodes ill for CPAN. I’ll try to use apt for as much as I can.
Start with:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
I miss yum already, the summary and progress were nice. So:
apt-get install aptitude
(it’s a Curses shell)
apt-get install locate
actually, it looks like it puts slocate in /etc/alternatives as an alias to locate, but I still get the error:
slocate: fatal error: load_file: Could not open file: /etc/updatedb.conf: No such file or directory
This “solves” the problem
touch /etc/updatedb.conf

I miss Redhat again. Ubuntu isn’t made for shell users.
This is the command I want to see what’s installed:
apt-cache pkgnames
What a great name! I miss Redhat even more.
Nope, that’s not it, even though it says it is. I think that’s a partial list of what’s available.
Okay, let’s switch gears.
apt-get install mod_perl
apt-get install modperl
apt-get install mod-perl
none of them exist. If only there was a way to search packages with apt.
aptitude search mod_perl
aptitude search perl
still not getting anywhere.
It looks like (but you can’t really tell) that apache isn’t installed either. Just guess:
apt-get install apache2 apache2-dev apache2-doc
whoops — what’s apache2-mpm-tik? don’t I want apache2-mpm-prefork? Oh well, let’s let it ride:
aptitude install libapache2-mod-perl2 libapache2-mod-perl2-dev
And grab some random ones that sound good, because who knows what I really need?
aptitude install php5 php5-cli php5-pear
The following NEW packages will be installed:
apache2-mpm-prefork{a} libapache2-mod-php5{a} libxml2{a} php5 php5-cli php5-common{a} sgml-base{a}
xml-core{a}
The following packages will be REMOVED:
apache2-mpm-worker{a}
aha!
aptitude install libcatalyst-perl
aptitude install libcatalyst-modules-perl libcatalyst-model-cdbi-perl libcatalyst-engine-apache-perl libcatalyst-view-tt-perl libcatalyst-plugin-session-fast
aptitude install libcatalyst-modules-extra-perl libcatalyst-plugin-formvalidato
aptitude install libcatalyst-plugin-session-fast
aptitude install libxml-smart-perl libxml-writer-perl libxml-generator-perl libxml-xpath-perl libxml-dom-perl libxml-simple-perl libxml-csv-perl
Who knows how much of this worked, or what’s included in it?
That’s enough messing around for now.
