[kw-pm] how to identify the ubuntu package that contains a module?

[Ryan Fox]

Ubuntu doesn't have a package for all Perl modules. You could try `apt-cache
search foo::bar`, but there doesn't seem to be a package for this particular
module.

Try this instead: `cpan File::Inplace`  (you might need sudo, depending on
configuration)
