I failed to do it by myself but then @asjo@illuminant.asjo.org offered the following on fedi. I disregarded this advice and instead used Perlbrew on my server, installing everything from CPAN. As the server a rather small virtual machine, it took more than an hour and then it failed. I had to install `Moops` without testing due to a known issue. Then I continued the install fest. I was not amused.
Here's what Adam Sjøgren suggested.
---
I start by installing the packages you listed:
sudo apt install libmodern-perl-perl libanyevent-irc-perl \ libfile-slurper-perl libmojo-sqlite-perl libmojolicious-perl \ libdatetime-perl libkeyword-simple-perl libtest-fatal-perl \ libtest-requires-perl libdevel-callparser-perl libtrue-perl \ libperlx-define-perl libperlx-assert-perl \ libmoox-late-perl libmoose-perl liblexical-accessor-perl \ libnamespace-sweep-perl libreturn-type-perl libmatch-simple-perl \ gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu dh-make-perl
and then I also install these packages that I found were needed, and packaged in Debian, along the way:
sudo apt install perl-xs-dev libmoosex-mungehas-perl \ libclass-tiny-antlers-perl libmoosex-types-common-perl \ libtypes-xsd-lite-perl libtest-warnings-perl \ libanyevent-websocket-client-perl
Whenever I can't find a Debian package of the Perl library I need, I do `dh-make-perl --cpan Library`, `debuild`, and then `sudo apt install ./library.deb` – when a dependency is missing, I branch out and make/build/install that first.
First dependency missing is `Moops`:
dh-make-perl --cpan Moops cd libmoops-perl/ debuild
Ok, `Parse::Keyword` is missing, so build that and install it:
cd .. dh-make-perl --cpan Parse::Keyword cd libparse-keyword-perl/ debuild cd .. sudo apt install ./libparse-keyword-perl_0.10-1_amd64.deb
Now `Kavorka` is missing, so build and install:
dh-make-perl --cpan Kavorka cd libkavorka-perl debuild cd .. sudo apt install ./libkavorka-perl_0.039-1_all.deb
Finally we can build `Moops` and install it:
cd libmoops-perl debuild cd .. sudo apt install ./libmoops-perl_0.038-1_all.deb
Trying debuild in `AnyEvent::Discord` again, we are now missing `Algorithm::Backoff::Exponential`, so build that:
dh-make-perl --cpan Algorithm::Backoff::Exponential cd libalgorithm-backoff-exponential debuild
ah, it depends on `Test::Number::Delta`, so build that and install it:
cd .. dh-make-perl --cpan Test::Number::Delta cd libtest-number-delta/ debuild cd .. sudo apt install ./libtest-number-delta-perl_1.06-1_all.deb
so now we can build and install `Algorithm::Backoff::Exponential`:
cd libalgorithm-backoff-exponential/ debuild cd .. sudo apt install ./libalgorithm-backoff-perl_0.010-1_all.deb
and finally we can build and install `AnyEvent::Discord`:
cd libanyevent-discord/ debuild cd .. sudo apt install ./libanyevent-discord-perl_0.7-1_all.deb
Let's try:
asjo@debian:~$ perl -E 'use AnyEvent::Discord; say $AnyEvent::Discord::VERSION' 0.7
It's a little bit tedious, but if you maintain your own local Debian package repository (I use reprepro) it's quite manageable, and you get security updates automatically from Debian for Perl, and all the packages you didn't build yourself, automatically.
