We have received a perl program that makes use of "Net::Interface" module which I am trying to run on CentOS 8. However, running into issues as this module is not found.

use Net::Interface;

I could use cpan to install the same, but currently using the rpm packages for all the needs. Any idea which rpm package provides this perl module?

There are no CentOS 8packages that provide that Perl module, I don’t see packages in C7 either (nor in EPEL).

I suggest packaging them yourself. The rpm-build package has an rpmdev-newspec command that can take a -t perl argument to create a spec file from a template for a perk module. So `rpmdev-newspec -t perl perl-Net-Interface`
