[Buildroot] Perl libraries/modules sub-menu is empty

[Buildroot] Perl libraries/modules sub-menu is empty

[Pedro Silva]

Dear all,
I am trying to add "mosh" (mobile shell) to buildroot but it is missing
some perl modules, namely the socket module...
? The error is: ?Can't locate Socket.pm in @INC (you may need to install
the Socket module)?.

?The problem is that in buildroot, with perl package checked ("Interpreter
languages and scripting"), the ?"Perl libraries/modules" is empty and cause
of that I am not able to select any additional module.
?Any hint on this issue??

I send an screenshot in attachment.

?Thanks in advance.?
?Best regards,?
Pedro Silva

You're using Buildroot 2014.05, and back in this version, there were no
target Perl modules packaged in Buildroot. They started to appear in
Buildroot 2014.08.

In Perl, Socket is core module, so no need for additional module.
On target, you could check the presence of the module, with the
following command :

   $ perl -MSocket
