Can't find a valid termcap

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi, 

One of me the application that I use uses the perl Term::Screen module. It
was running fine before, but recently when I launch it, I get the
following error:

 Can't find a valid termcap file at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Term/Screen.pm line 95

My term is xterm:

$ env | grep TERM=
TERM=xterm

How can I fix that? 

While trying to find the answer myself, I found the following line from
Linux Frequently Asked Questions

"Ensure that there is a termcap entry for xterm in /etc/termcap"

But my current Debian doesn't have such /etc/termcap file. 

Please help

thanks
