How to know what library must be installed for perl or pm file running?

I have some perl file and perl module I need it to be running.

Can any one help me find out what library (like pcap or Netpacket) needs to be installed? I am wondering any central location for verification.

I installed almost all the library but does not get the expected output. And when I run 

$ perl Makefile.PL

Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lwiretap
Writing Makefile for Wtap.

It tells you right there what library you're missing: wiretap. Googling appears to indicate it's part of Wireshark, although Wtap's documentation should make that obvious. I suspect installing Wireshark will install the library you're missing.

I don't know what MyWiretap.pm or Wtap are. They appear to be "home grown" and not available on CPAN or elsewhere.

My assumption is that you might be interested in using Net::Sharktools for your purposes.
