libdigest-sha1-perl not found on repositories ubuntu 12.04

Is there a way to install libdigest-sha1-perl on my ubuntu 12.04? I found this:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/85191944/libdigest-sha1-perl_2.13-2build2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libdigest-sha1-perl_2.13-2build2_amd64.deb

(change amd64 to i386, if y on 32bit)

but when i change to i386 instead of amd64 i get a "can't find".

Is there a better way to install it? I'm on ubuntu 12.04 32bit.

I need this package 'cause compiling a source i get this error message:

Can't locate Digest/SHA1.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl

Thanks very much

This works for me on WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (2022):

apt-get update
apt-get install cpanminus
cpanm -i Digest::SHA1

Ubuntu has deprecated Digest::SHA1 (which is why libdigest-sha1-perl provides). As such, you will not be able to install it as a .deb until someone builds a package for it (like the above amd64 package).

In the mean time, to compile your software, you can manually install the perl module through cpanm:

apt-get install cpanm
cpanm -i Digest::SHA1

This will install Digest::SHA1. Note that every time Ubuntu updates the Perl package, you will need to reinstall this.
