I have a Perl application in 15.0 which, when invoked, returns
the following diagnostic:

Can't locate getopts.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /
usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/
vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at /usr/local/bin/xtt line
20

Anybody know what Slackbuilds package must be installed in order
to get this to work?

I don't know that it's in a slackware package but installing it is
pretty trivial if you use perl.

# perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.28)
Enter 'h' for help.

I have the getopts module for perl in directory /usr/share/perl5/ and
the files are "Getopt/Long.pm" and "Getopt/Std.pm".

They are part of the standard Slackware installation of perl and I don't
recall any getopts.pl being part of previous 14.x releases.

See the Getopt::Long(3) and Getopt::Std(3) man pages.

Thanks. The installed it all right, but the issue persists as
described. When I check out the xtt Perl application, line 20 is the
following:

require "getopts.pl"; # &Getopts()

The thing is, getopts.pl is indeed nowhere available in my system.

The script that I am trying to execute is a bit old, but it still
worked fine under Slackware 14.2. Might it be the case that, in 15.0, one
must use a different Perl module here?

Old program? See

Thanks. I checked out that link and attempted to install
Perl4::CoreLibs by hand, using perl -MCPAN -e shell. The installation
took a while and ended up with the following:

After this, there still is no getopts.pl, and the application

I got kind of fed up with this: I ended up getting an RPM for
Centos 8 which contains the damn getopts.pl file, I extracted it, copied
it to /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl, and the script works.

That seems right, the file getopts.pl is missing in Slackware 14.2, but I
have that file on two older Slackware installations (12.0 and 9.1) where
that file came from the packages perl-5.8.8-i486-4 and perl-5.8.0-i486-5.
But as you say, that file is missing from the Slackware 14.2 package
perl-5.22.2-x86_64-1.

This is a Perl version change thing, not a Slackware specific thing.
Plain 'getopts.pl' is a Perl version 4 script which was deprecated but
kept in the standard distribution for years. They did eventually drop it
in newer releases, and now Slackware has caught up with that. The Getopt
module is the modern replacement. As mentioned else thread, there's a
Perl4 compatibility package that can help.
