Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Encode on CentOS 8.

What is `perl-Encode`

The Encode module provides the interface between Perl strings and the rest of the system. Perl strings are sequences of characters. perl-Encode 4 2.97 3.el8 x86_64 1.5 M perl-Encode-2.97-3.el8.src.rpm baseos Character encodings in Perl http (GPL+ or Artistic) and Artistic 2.0 and UCD The Encode module provides the interface between Perl strings and the rest of the system.

We can use yum or dnf to install perl-Encode on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install perl-Encode.

Install perl-Encode on CentOS 8 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:
