How to add perl modules on my distribution package?

Hi all ~

I'm using ProFTP and try to use ftpasswd perl script to manage AuthUserFiles.

But when I run ftpasswd command on my system I get the following error

Can't locate Fcntl.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Fcntl module) 
(@INC contains: 
 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.34.1/arm-linux 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.34.1 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.34.1/arm-linux 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.34.1 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.34.1/arm-linux 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.34.1) 
 
at ./ftpasswd line 29.
 
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./ftpasswd line 29.

How can I add perl module on distribution package?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi @hochul yoo

The perl module Fnctl is available from your board through the package repository service:

root@stm32mp1:~# apt-get update
root@stm32mp1:~# apt-cache policy perl-module-fcntl
perl-module-fcntl:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 5.34.1-r0
  Version table:
     5.34.1-r0 500
        500 http://packages.openstlinux.st.com/4.1 kirkstone/main armhf Packages

You can install it with the command:

root@stm32mp1:~# apt-get install perl-module-fcntl

Best regards,
