"Can't locate loadable" Perl module when running cyradm

[Conrad Kleinespel]

Hello,

I have finally got cyradm to connect to the Cyrus server through SASL.
I'm documenting what I did for convenience and so it's written
somewhere. Maybe it can help others.

I installed "saslpasswd2" with:
    sudo apt-get install sasl2-bin

I launched the saslauth daemon with the following command:
    sudo -g sasl saslauthd -a sasldb -d -m /var/run/saslauthd/ -V

I setup a user with:
    sudo saslpasswd2 -c conradk

I tested that the user was OK with:
    sudo testsaslauthd -u conradk -p secret_password

I gave access to saslauthd to Cyrus with (I recommend not setting these
permissions in production unless you are sure you know the implications,
I don't, but this is for local development on my machine):
    sudo usermod -aG sasl cyrus
    sudo usermod -aG sasl conradk
    sudo setfacl -dRm g:sasl:rwx /var/run/saslauthd
    sudo setfacl -Rm  g:sasl:rwx /var/run/saslauthd
    sudo setfacl -dRm g:mail:rwx /var/run/saslauthd
    sudo setfacl -Rm  g:mail:rwx /var/run/saslauthd
    sudo setfacl -dRm u:cyrus:rwx /var/run/saslauthd
    sudo setfacl -Rm u:cyrus:rwx /var/run/saslauthd
    sudo setfacl -dRm u:conradk:rwx /var/run/saslauthd
    sudo setfacl -Rm u:conradk:rwx /var/run/saslauthd

Then, something like this should work (note I execute the command as the
"cyrus" user):
    sudo -u cyrus testsaslauthd -u cyrus -p secret_password

I connected to Cyrus with cyradm from within Docker like this:
    cyradm --user cyrus --notls --auth PLAIN $docker_host_ip

For completeness, here's my /etc/imapd.conf file:
    configdirectory: /home/conradk/.cyrus-server/var/imap
    partition-default: /home/conradk/.cyrus-server/var/spool/imap
    admins: conradk
    sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
    allowplaintext: yes

Note that I set "allowplaintext" to "yes" and "sasl_pwcheck_method" is
set to "saslauthd", which is what I'm using in the examples above.

Best regards,
