Perl Modules Not Installed

Supportotrs

Greetings,

When I navigate to the following area in OTRS: Admin --> Service Center, under the "Perl Modules," the following notifications are red flagged:

- Class::Inspector.................Not installed! (required - Please install this module - )

- Module::Refresh..................Not installed! (required - Please install this module - )

- Mozilla::CA......................Not installed! (required - Please install this module - )

- SOAP::Lite.......................Not installed! (required - Please install this module - )

 

Were these not installed on purpose? Are they actually required? If so, for the not so savy Linux user, how does one install them?

Not intentional

The OTRS appliance uses the Debian packaged version of OTRS and I would have assumed that it would have auto installed all of it's required dependencies. So my guess is that they are only required for some additional functionality (although I have no idea what that may be...).

# of them can easily be installed for Debian:

apt-get update && apt-get install libmodule-refresh-perl libclass-inspector-perl libsoap-lite-perl
The last one will need to be isntalled with CPAN. This should work (but untested):
dh-make-perl –install –cpan Mozilla::CA

However there is a risk that will fail as IIRC it requires make and friends... You could try:

apt-get install build-essentials
And then retry above.

Please report back any issues (and success/experience/etc) so we can tweak it for next release...

[update] answer in post below

This will install Mozilla::CA

apt-get install make
echo yes | cpan Mozilla::CA

Also may as well install JSON::XS & Text::CSV_XS too:

apt-get install libjson-xs-perl libtext-csv-xs-perl

The first command worked;

The first command worked; however the second and third failed. See image below:

 

I reviewed the Service Center area again and it resolved 3/4 modules. Now it shows the following; I assume the optional modules aren't important and/or are not required for OTRS functionality, so I am not too worried about them.

  o Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt.......Not installed! (optional - For strong password hashing.)
  o DBD::ODBC........................Not installed! (optional - Required to connect to a MS-SQL database.)
  o DBD::Oracle......................Not installed! (optional - Required to connect to a Oracle database.)
  o DBD::Pg..........................Not installed! (optional - Required to connect to a PostgreSQL database.)
  o Encode::HanExtra.................Not installed! (optional - Required to handle mails with several Chinese character sets.)
  o JSON::XS.........................Not installed! (optional - Recommended for faster AJAX/JavaScript handling.)
  o Text::CSV_XS.....................Not installed! (optional - Recommended for faster CSV handling.)

Bundled modules:

  o Mozilla::CA......................Not installed! (required - Please install this module - )

worked like a charm, all
