Perl Modules

Installing CPAN.pm

Download CPAN.pm. Unpack the tarball, and:

perl Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install

Since we're behind a firewall, make sure /etc/profile sets:

FTP_PASSIVE=1

To run CPAN, type:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell

The first time you run it:

install Bundle::CPAN
install HTTP::Date
install Net:DNS
install Storable

For each of those, you'll be prompted to install other dependencies; just accept all the defaults.
