Install Perl Packages

Using SSH (shell), enter these commands one by one,

• yum install gcc
• yum install 'perl(Moose)'
• yum install 'perl(Digest::HMAC)'
• yum install 'perl(Module::Build)' 

This will install all required perl packages for Source build and supporting WebMin Two Factor Authentication.

Note: If you get error “No package perl(Moose) available” then please go through this short guide to install perl-Moose from tar package.

Pull Authen::OATH source package and Unzip it

Now, you must pull fresh package from CPAN,

wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SI/SIFUKURT/Authen-OATH-v1.0.0.tar.gz

 Unzip it using,

tar -xvf Authen-OATH-v1.0.0.tar.gz

Extract, Build & Install Authen::OATH Perl Package

Change the directory to newly extracted folder. In my case, I issued following command,

cd Authen-OATH-v1.0.0

Enter these commands one by one,

• perl Build.PL
• ./Build
• ./Build test
• ./Build install

Restart WebMin – Very Important.

service webmin restart
