Is it correct to assume that any given debian package whose name is of the form lib.*-perl corresponds to one and only one CPAN module, and that the algorithm for determining the corresponding debian package name from a given CPAN module name is this? ...
- Add a leading "lib" and a trailing "-perl" to the CPAN module name. - Replace all occurrences of double colon ('::') with a hyphen ('-'). - Convert to lower case. If so, then I presume that I can search for any given CPAN package names as follows (using Perl code here): foreach my $cpanModuleName (@ARGV) { (my $debianPackageName = "lib${cpanModuleName}-perl") =~ s/::/-/g; system("apt-cache search --names-only '^${debianPackageName}\$'"); } This little program seems to work, but are my assumptions correct?
