I need the following perl packages installed from CPAN please: DateTime DateTime::Format::Duration Net::Netmask Time::Local URI::Escape Please install all prerequisites also.
Please also install: Net::SSLeay LWP::Protocol::https IO::Socket::SSL
Ubuntu Precise, by default, does not include URI::Escape (which is obsolescent) but URI::Encode. I will install the latter which provides the same functionality but -- if absolutely required -- I can package the former.

(In reply to comment #2) > Ubuntu Precise, by default, does not include URI::Escape (which is > obsolescent) URI::Escape is provided by liburi-perl. I don't see any indication in its manpage that it is obsolescent.
As far as I can tell, it hasn't been maintained since 2004 whereas ::Encode has been. Regardless, liburi-perl is installed in our environment, so you get both for the price of one. :-)
From the copyright date in the file? Looking in the changelog in the Debian package, I see mention of changes to URI::Escape as recently as 2010, and looking in Debian's git repo of the package I see changes to the file in early 2011 too. The upstream URI package as a whole was last updated in 2012.
Hm, I clearly checked in the wrong place, because the last changelog entry I saw that touched anywhere under URI/Escape was in Oct 2004. :-)
