Answer 1

You need to have Config-IniFiles installed for the script to work. Check your package repository for a package (better), or install via cpan (easier):

cpan install Config::IniFiles

Answer 2

Resolved it by following the step given below. :)

1) perl -MCPAN -e 'install Perl::OSType'

2) perl -MCPAN -e 'install Module::Build';

3) cpan install Config::IniFiles
