Hi, I want to switch between shorewall 4.0.6 to the latest 4.4.13.3 and from opensuse10.3 to ubuntu10.04 Set up ubuntu10.04 on a dedicated PC (Intel), downloaded shorewall-4.4.13.3.tar.bz2 and had it installed via tar -jxf and then ./install.sh from the extracted shorewall-4.4.13.3 subdirectory Ubuntu10.04 comes standard with perl 5.10.1 ($ perl -v --> Perl, v5.10.1) Reading the Shorewall-4.html file, told me that also Prerequisted for shorewall 4.2/4.4 are the perl modules Cwd, File::Basename, File::Temp, GetOpt::Long, Carp, FindBin, Scalar::Util Are these included in the the tar.bz2 ?? I thought not, so I did # perl -MCPAN -e shell (this first did some setup, I accepted all the defaults) cpan[1]> install Cwd this installed it over the Internet cpan[2] install File::Basename this told me it can''t install that because the most recent version belongs to perl-5.12.2 I tried: cpan[3] force install File::Basename this started to upgrade (or install alongside ??) my perl to perl-5.12.2 (took quite some time) and a 100 questions for which I choose the default answers ... after a reboot indeed, perl -v tells me: Perl, v5.12.2 Did # perl -MCPAN -e shell again (which also did the setup again...) cpan[1]> install Cwd (seems it is needed to install again since # instmodsh (to list the installed modules), did not find Cwd anymore) then I did the install of the other modules needed for shorewall, but for all of the following (except the last one,Scalar::Util) it told me that the module was ''up to date'' ... (? inlcuded in standard Perl 5.12.2 ??) Still # installmodsh cmd? l (l for list) shows only Cwd List::Util Perl Is all this normal ?? Does shorewall-4.4.13.3 work OK with perl 5.12.2 ? Or could I have used perl 5.10.1 and with some trick in perl -MCPAN -e shell have installed version 5.10.1. compatible perl modules needed for shorewall-4.4.13.3 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
