  1. Install Net::MQTT (I use debian, so these are the steps that I'm using)

  2. wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/B/BE/BEANZ/Net-MQTT-1.163170.tar.gz

  3. tar -zxvf Net-MQTT-1.163170.tar.gz

  4. dh-make-perl Net-MQTT-1.163170/

  5. cd Net-MQTT-1.163170

  6. debuild -i -us -uc -b

  7. sudo dpkg -i ../libnet-mqtt-perl_1.163170-1_all.deb

  8. restart mh, get no errors

  9. test mosquitto pub / sub (I used this page: http://www.steves-internet-guide.com/mosquitto_pub-sub-clients/ )

  10. In one shell, mosquitto_sub -h 127.0.0.1 -v -t house/#

  11. In another shell, mosquitto_pub -h 127.0.0.1 -m "test message" -t house/bulb1 -d

  12. Verify that you see the message on the sub side. "house/bulb1 test message"
