What Ubuntu 20.04 package gives the Perl module Locale::Language? I've looked on https://packages.ubuntu.com/ but I can't find anything. Web search isn't turning up anything. Not sure I'm searching right.

  1. Locale::Language is deprecated, suggest you install

    sudo apt-get install liblocale-codes-perl

    See below that reproduces the warning and suggestion to use the separate liblocale-codes-perl package, as Locale::Language is deprecated

    see:

    $ perl -e 'use Locale::Language'
Locale::Codes will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major release. Please install the separate liblocale-codes-perl package. It is being used at 
/usr/share/perl/5.28/Locale/Language.pm, line 22.

    If you don't have Locale::Language installed you may get a different error

    $ perl -e 'use Locale::Language'
Can't locate Locale/Language.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Locale::Language module) ...

    You can use the cpan program to install it

    cpan Locale::Language

    but since it is deprecated suggest you install

    sudo apt-get install liblocale-codes-perl

  2. To find which package provide the perl module, use:

    sudo apt install apt-file
sudo apt-file update
apt-file search <Perl::Module> | awk '{print $1}' | uniq | tr -d \:

    e,g, in your case:

     apt-file search Locale::Language | awk '{print $1}' | uniq | tr -d \:

    sample output:

    liblocale-codes-perl

    Then install it:

    sudo apt install liblocale-codes-perl
