Bastian,
I totally agree with you that you may add a lot of perl libs, depending
of what exactly are you doing in the perl scripts called from the module.
I was referring to the minimal lib dependency in order to get the module
compile from C point of view. According to my tests, libperl-dev (and
all its dependencies) is enough. I guess it is a pretty common lib on
most of the UNIX systems.
my suggestion is to list in docs the "libperl-dev" library as module
external dependency, instead of the generic "Perl".
thanks and regards,
bogdan

A "full perl installation" would include all the files from perl, libperl, and
libperl-dev. Right, nobody installs perl from the sources :)
Is it about libperl or libperl-dev ??
libperl-dev includes /usr/lib/libperl.so (just as a softlink to
libperl5.8's /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.x). This is necessary for the module to
work.
Thus:
On debian, you should at least install perl, perl-base, perl-modules,
libperl5.8 and libperl-dev.
There are a lot of additional perl modules that might make sense in the
context of the module, so you might want to install some lib*-perl packages
as well, but they are not necessary for the base functionality. My primary
intent, accessing LDAP from within OpenSER, would depend on libnet-ldap-perl,
for example (in fact, the LDAPUtils modules included in my sources use that
debian package).
Sorry for not pointing this out any better. There are big differences between
different distributions (I'm using SuSE here, their package naming scheme is
different here and there). Is there a dedicated list of supported OS and/or
Linux distributions of OpenSER anywhere?
Please tell me if you can successfully use the module when the debian packages
mentioned above are installed.
Thx & Regards,
Bastian
