Installing GET

In RPM-based Linux distributions the package named “perl-libwww-perl” includes the LWP module with the GET, POST, and HEAD command aliases; to check if the RPM is installed:

rpm -qi perl-libwww-perl

If the RPM is not installed or if the aliases are otherwise missing (e.g., on FreeBSD), then the issue may be resolved by forcing a re-install of the LWP module from CPAN and having it install the aliases for LWP that enable the GET, POST, and HEAD commands; the re-installation may be performed using the following command, and when running it you would need to answer yes to the questions by entering “y” when prompted to create the aliases:
Code:

/scripts/realperlinstaller --force LWP
