Yes, it is recommended, if the ASSP_AFC plugin is used and 7z is not 
installed

the try to install DBD::mysql and Archive::Libarchive::XS using the cpan 
shell - should show the install errors

a valid compiled version of DBD::mysql should be available in the apt repo 
of debian (e.g. libdbd-mysql-perl)

LEOCHARRE::Debug is not requested by the module installer (and is not 
available at cpan) - but the provided package contains (also) 
LEOCHARRE::DEBUG
this package is only required on windows systems

for nix system LEOCHARRE::DEBUG should be available at cpan - if it can't 
be installed, show the cpan install errors

Betreff:        [Assp-test] Updating to Perl 5.40 / problems with outdated 
modules







Hi all,
 
I am now running ASSP version 2.8.2  build 25223. I just updated my box to 
Debian 13 (trixie) which brings in Perl 5.40. 
I ran mod_inst_ocr.pl (2.12) and tried updating perl modules via cpan. 
I ran into trouble with the installation of DBD::mysql, LEOCHARRE::Debug, 
PDF::OCR2 and Archive::Libarchive::XS. I finally found a package to 
install LEOCHARRE::Debug (not LEOCHARRE::DEBUG) and then PDF::OCR2 could 
also be installed. I still did not succeed installing DBD::mysql and 
Archive::Libarchive::XS. Concerning Archive::Libarchive::XS I wonder if it 
is still needed, because metacpan tells me „NOTE: This module has been 
deprecated in favor of Archive::Libarchive.“ which installs without 
problems.
 
Maybe some wise wizard could do a refresh on mod_inst.pl / assp.mod.zip so 
that it is again our one-stop-shop for all modules needed? 
 
Thanks for your hard work!
