I found this nice script for generating the menu on fluxbox: https://github.com/trizen/fbmenugen

But for my needs I need to find the libraries perl-linux-desktopfiles and perl-file-desktopentry. Do you know How I can install them for ubuntu 16.04LTS?

    These are CPAN modules for Perl, which can be installed using:

    cpan Linux::DesktopFiles
cpan File::DesktopEntry

    1. Download https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/libdata-dump-perl/download and install it with 

      sudo dpkg -i downloadedFile

    2. Download https://github.com/trizen/Linux-DesktopFiles, then click on Clone or Download, and download the zip.

      Follow build instructions on the same place you download the zip.
      Except add sudo in front of each command.

      dpkg --force-all -i ObmenuGeneratorPackage.deb
cp -a /etc/skel/. /home/userName
chown -R userName /home/userName
sudo reboot

    Now obmenu-generator should work flawlessly.
