--- Comment #2 from Ruud van der Pas <ruud.vanderpas at oracle dot com> --- I have tried to reproduce the issue, but on Oracle Linux (OL), the perl-bignum package is installed as part of the Perl package. I am unfortunately not familiar with ArchLinux, but hopefully a "yum install perl", or "yum install perl-bignum" works. Otherwise, you may want to try using cpan and cpanm to install the bignum Perl module. This is well documented in this page: http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html I tried this myself and the following commands worked for me: $ cpan App::cpanminus I relied on the defaults, but did set it up such that I could use sudo for subsequent installations: What approach do you want? (Choose 'local::lib', 'sudo' or 'manual') [local::lib] sudo Next, I used cpanm to install bignum: $ cpanm --sudo bignum This also pulled in some other modules. This is what I saw on my machine: $ cpanm --sudo bignum --> Working on bignum Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/P/PJ/PJACKLAM/bignum-0.67.tar.gz ... OK Configuring bignum-0.67 ...
