Installing Perl modules

As always with perl, there’s a couple of options ;-)

  1. Automatically using CPAN perl -MCPAN -e shell install Perl::Module::You::Want

  2. Automatically using g-cpan in Gentoo g-cpan -i Perl::Module::You::Want

  3. Semi automatically in Debian

    • find a “lib-module-you-want-perl” module that provides the package you want.
    • command apt cache search “lib.*-perl” gives you a list of all prepackaged perl modules.
    • install “apt-get install”
  4. By hand, described here.
