I am trying to run bluesniff on backtrack.I have the bluesniff.pl script and when i try to execute it by typing:

perl bluesniff.pl

An error message came out:

Can't locate Curses.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Curses/Application.pm line 92. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Curses/Application.pm line 92. Compilation failed in require at bluesniff.pl line 23. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at bluesniff.pl line 23.

Please advise!

To all who commented, thanks! It worked.

You need to install the Curses module from CPAN somehow. - squiguy
Using the CPAN shell you could say: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Curses' - devnull

You need to download the Curses Perl module.

Run

cpan Curses

from the command line to install this module and all dependencies.

You can install Curses simply by typing apt-get install libcurses-ui-perl if you don't need to learn and install all the Perl stack. If you prefer to, do as others said and use Cpanm to install it.
