debian-user:
I would like to use the Perl module Digest::SHA256 on Debian:
2025-04-02 15:57:50 root@laalaa ~
# cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a
11.11
Linux laalaa 5.10.0-34-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.234-1 (2025-02-24)
x86_64 GNU/Linux

# perl -v
This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for
x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

# perl -e 'use Digest::SHA256'
Can't locate Digest/SHA256.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
Digest::SHA256 module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl

The Debian package "libdigest-sha-perl" appears to be what I need:
2025-04-02 15:54:17 root@laalaa ~
# apt-cache search SHA | grep 256 | grep -i perl
libdigest-sha-perl - Perl extension for SHA-1/224/256/384/512,
SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256
But installing libdigest-sha-perl does not provide Digest::SHA256:

# apt-get install libdigest-sha-perl
