From: PerlFAQ Server on 17 Mar 2010 06:00 This is an excerpt from the latest version perlfaq8.pod, which comes with the standard Perl distribution. These postings aim to reduce the number of repeated questions as well as allow the community to review and update the answers. The latest version of the complete perlfaq is at http://faq.perl.org . -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.45: How do I install a module from CPAN? The easiest way is to have a module also named CPAN do it for you. This module comes with perl version 5.004 and later. $ perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.59_54) ReadLine support enabled cpan> install Some::Module To manually install the CPAN module, or any well-behaved CPAN module for that matter, follow these steps: 1 Unpack the source into a temporary area. 2 perl Makefile.PL 3 make 4 make test 5 make install If your version of perl is compiled without dynamic loading, then you just need to replace step 3 (make) with make perl and you will get a new perl binary with your extension linked in. See ExtUtils::MakeMaker for more details on building extensions. See also the next question, "What's the difference between require and use?". -------------------------------------------------------------------- The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up, so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms. Working code is greatly appreciated. If you'd like to help maintain the perlfaq, see the details in perlfaq.pod.
