How To Fix stag-handle: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu stag-handle is provided by libdata-stag-perl package.

libdata-stag-perl is:

Data::Stag is for manipulating data as hierarchical tag/value pairs (Structured TAGs or Simple Tree AGgreggates). These datastructures can be represented as nested arrays, which have the advantage of being native to perl. A simple example is shown below:

[ person=> [ [ family_name => $family_name ], [ given_name => $given_name ], [ phone_no => $phone_no ] ] ],

Data::Stag uses a subset of XML for import and export. This means the module can also be used as a general XML parser/writer (with certain caveats).

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install libdata-stag-perl

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install libdata-stag-perl.

sudo apt -y install libdata-stag-perl

sudo aptitude install libdata-stag-perl
