Deep in the rabbit hole of trying to test something I was trying to see how to install Term-ReadLine-Gnu in various environments. This is on an Ubuntu image:

It says we have perl 5.30.3.

When I apt-get install curl it complains about:

debconf: (Can't locate Term/ReadLine.pm in @INC
(but curl gets installed anyway)

Then I try to install cpanm from its web site and I get:

Can't locate PerlIO.pm in @INC

Any idea what mess did I get myself into and how to get out of this?

Details are here

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
