the
relevant perl modules aren't installed by default.
When I used to run get_iplayer under Windows, I used to install the perl
of
my choice, then ran
cpan cpanminus
to install 'cpanminus', then used that to install the perl modules that
the
g_ip documentation said I'd need.
A quick google suggests that under linux one might use one's distro's
package
manager (apt or whatever) to install perl, and cpan, but then just use
cpan
to install perl modules (apparently outwith the control of apt or
whatever).
How is a perl user supposed to know whether to go to cpan/cpanminus
route or
expect their distro's package manager to deal with this?
