cpanm force install fails to Build and test Alien::OpenSSL on WSL

Question

I am new to perl and I have having some trouble installing some packages on my WSL2 Ubuntu20.04 distro. The comand that I am runnig on my machine is:

sudo cpanm --force Net::RFC3161::Timestamp

Output of the code is:

--> Working on Net::RFC3161::Timestamp
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/A/AK/AKHUETTEL/Net-RFC3161-Timestamp-0.020.tar.gz ... OK
==> Found dependencies: Alien::OpenSSL
--> Working on Alien::OpenSSL
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/P/PL/PLICEASE/Alien-OpenSSL-0.12.tar.gz ... OK
Configuring Alien-OpenSSL-0.12 ... OK
Building and testing Alien-OpenSSL-0.12 ... FAIL
! Installing Alien::OpenSSL failed. See /root/.cpanm/work/1648856748.7098/build.log for details. Retry with --force to force install it.
! Installing the dependencies failed: Module 'Alien::OpenSSL' is not installed
! Bailing out the installation for Net-RFC3161-Timestamp-0.020.

I am tryng to solve this problem and I could not find any specifical solution yet, suppose I am missing something.

Thanks for the support

*"Installing Alien::OpenSSL failed. See /root/.cpanm/work/1648856748.7098/build.log for details."* Please include relevant information about the problem from the `build.log` file — Håkon Hægland, Apr 02 '22 at 04:30
Why are you using `sudo` with `cpanm` when you are using [`local::lib`](https://metacpan.org/pod/local::lib) ? — Håkon Hægland, Apr 02 '22 at 06:26
I tried to install `Net::RFC3161::Timestamp` on Windows 11, WSL with Ubuntu 20.04 and here the dependency `Alien::Build` fails to install. Submitted bug report [here](https://github.com/PerlAlien/Alien-Build/issues/302) — Håkon Hægland, Apr 02 '22 at 07:51
Came to to the conclusions that some basic packages were missing, I will write soon an answer . — Indiano, Apr 02 '22 at 17:49
