How To Fix perlver: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu perlver is provided by libperl-minimumversion-perl package.

libperl-minimumversion-perl is:

Perl::MinimumVersion is a module that inspects arbitrary Perl source code and determines the minimum version of perl required to be able to run it. Because it is based on PPI, it can do this without having to actually load the code.

Currently it tests both the syntax of your code, and the use of explicit version dependencies such as “require 5.005”.

Future plans are to also add support for tracing module dependencies.

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

sudo apt-get -y install libperl-minimumversion-perl

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

You can also use apt command to install libperl-minimumversion-perl.

sudo apt -y install libperl-minimumversion-perl

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install libperl-minimumversion-perl
