Hi,
What is the difference between perl and perl-devel? What does mean devel?
I have to install perl-devel. First I searched for perl-devel in YAST Software Management and search did not find it. I visited the software.opensuse.org and wrote “perl-devel” and searched. The result was many similar zips with a prefix perl-devel and I can not choose one for needed perl-devel. Please, help me to make a choise which one is true for “perl-devel”…

List of search results:
perl-Devel-Symdump
perl-Devel-CoreStack
perl-Devel-StackTrace
perl-Devel-Caller
perl-Devel-GlobalDestruction
perl-Devel-Leak
perl-Devel-LexAlias
perl-Devel-Trace
perl-Devel-REPL
perl-Devel-Size
perl-Devel-PPPort
perl-Devel-Cycle
apache2-mod_perl-devel

I’m using openSUSE 11.1

The difference (though not 100% sure) is that ‘perl’ contains the ‘runtime environment’, perl-devel extends that to the full devel(opment) environment.

…and perl-devel is needed for properly installing the Catalyst (web framework), maybe in openSUSE perl-devel package named with another name?
