perl issues on duo

You could try re-installing the perl-modules package using apt-get. While it is being reported as being installed it was heavily stripped afterwards before so the firmware on the ReadyNAS only contains a subset of the originally included modules.

Reinstallation of perl-modules is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

What version of RAIDiator? Did you do the "apt-get update" as suggested?

RAIDiator 4.1.8

I haven't done apt-get update , didn't want to break anything, should I run apt-get update?

The "couldn't stat source" messages suggest that something is wrong with the DNS settings on your ReadyNAS.

Edit: Yes, you should run apt-get update otherwise the system has no info whatsoever about where to actually find modules. And since apt-get update only updates the local database but doesn't install anything, it's safe to run.

Not sure if this is compatible with installing the perl modules thing, but WhoCares?'s PHP add-on (http://readynasxtras.com/readynas-sparc-add-ons/php-53-sparc) includes a newer version of php5-ldap than would be available via apt-get. If you plan to seriously use PHP for lots of different things this add-on would be well worth having.

As mentioned "apt-get update" is fine. The thing you don't want to do is "apt-get upgrade" which upgrades packages (some of which are kept on old versions for a reason) and breaks Frontview (web-interface of the ReadyNAS) and quite possibly other things as well.

should I run apt-get -f install?

Don't think so. That might break things. I'd probably try installing WhoCares?'s add-on then if what you want to install still won't install attempt to install the perl-modules again.

If you prefer you could try "apt-get install php5-ldap" and see what output that produces.

tried a find on English.pm and it's still not there, seem to be part of the perl core, can I apt-get the core?
