Looking for suggestions to install perl missing modules

Answer 1

I would use

sudo cpan Data::Validate::IP

See here https://perldoc.perl.org/cpan

Answer 2

"libdata-validate-ip-perl" would be the name of the package on Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu.

Redhat-based distributions use a different naming convention for their packages. Try "perl-Data-Validate-IP".
