Cannot install perl through nerdpack

Help

I'm trying to install perl through nerdpack, but I cannot find a way for some reason, hoping someone could help.

I click on the button slider to "On", click apply on the bottom. I get a popup saying: "

Processing Packages...

iperf3-3.9 package up to date, checksum ok.

Installing perl-5.32.0 package...

Cleaning up packages...

All packages processed...

But when I go back to nerdpack, it says "no" in the by install column.

anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Not here to help just here to say I was never able to get perl working either.

What version of unRAID are you on? I'm on 6.8.3, just tried to install perl and got the following:

Realise this is a bit late for you but for the benefit of Google...

If the Nerdpack GUI fails to work

Download Perl from here:

https://slackware.pkgs.org/14.2/slackware-x86_64/perl-5.22.2-x86_64-1.txz.html

copy the txz binary package onto the Unraid server.

Then in terminal navigate to the directory with the share and run the install command. i.e.
upgradepkg --install-new perl-5.22.2-x86_64-1.txz
