Package installing - perl debugger didn't work now works w.o. direct action












0















Running KALI under WSL. I wanted to debug some perl script but when invoking perl -d was getting something like "perl5db.pl missing" err. After that, not in order to solve that problem but in scope of something else i did:



apt-get install perl-doc
apt-get install make
apt-get update
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install git


Now the perl debugger works.
Two questions:
1. How could have I get to know what (which package) was missing in the first place
2. How can I know what apparently installed it



I'm fairly novice to Linux and the concept of packages...
