When I can install a perl module from apt, I usually do so because then apt update picks up new versions of it. When I install something which has a dependency on a perl module in apt, that module gets installed. Things just work and I am unstressed and happy. > > However, what should I do if I need a perl module that someone hasn???t kindly created a package for? I know I can install it from cpan. But once I do that, then I have to keep that module up to date via cpan. Perhaps I???m not alone and someone has a way to cross maintain these things that I???m unaware of? cpan2deb takes a CPAN module and builds it as a Debian package. Use a common suffix like -mgrant and you can spot these in package listings. When you upgrade, build new versions of all the -mgrant packages. -dsr-
