I did a manual linstallation of ddclient 3.9.0 (Downloaded the tar file, un-tared, copied files, etc). When I try to run ddclient, it fails with the following error:
Jan 29 13:26:10 router ddclient[2819]: Starting ddclient: Can't locate Data/Validate/IP.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Data::Validate::IP module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at /usr/local/sbin/ddclient line 27.

Jan 29 13:26:10 router ddclient[2819]: [FAILED]
Any suggestions, alternatives to ddclient (trying to update a DynDNS domain) or ETA's on when the Data::Validate::IP module will be available for Centos 8?
Thanks,

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
As a workaround, I was able to get inadyn running on Centos 8, building from source using the instructions @ https://github.com/troglobit/inadyn to update my dyndns host.
ddclient is still not working for me on Centos 8 because the Perl Data Validate package is only available up to CentOS 7.

Hi,
I did a manual linstallation of ddclient 3.9.0 (Downloaded the tar file, un-tared, copied files, etc). When I try to run ddclient, it fails with the following error:

The problem is that the Perl Data Validate package is only available up to Centos 7: https://centos.pkgs.org/7/getpagespeed-noarch/perl-Data-Validate-IP-0.27-1.el7.noarch.rpm.html
I tried to manually install a Perl Data Validate nonarch package, but I wasn't able to.
Any suggestions, alternatives to ddclient (trying to update a DynDNS domain) or ETA's on when the Data::Validate::IP module will be available for Centos 8?
Thanks,

Can't you just use the default ddclient package from Centos?
Do you mean via EPEL? I've installed ddclient with CentOS 7 after enabling EPEL, via yum.
But ddclient is not available for EPEL for CentOS 8.
yum search ddclient

Late to the show, but I found this when dnf couldn't find a repo for ddclient.
I ended up using snap..
snap install ddclient-snapfrom:
https://snapcraft.io/install/ddclient-snap/centos

The repo for ddclient is github.com/ddclient/ddclient .
No idea who does the snap but it is out of date.
