To install Some::module, just type $ cpan Some::Module * Since Perl 5.10 (i.e. the version included with Fedora 10), the standard Perl distribution has also included CPANPLUS.pm and its command line tool 'cpanp'. These are very much like the CPAN.pm tools that you mention but are more flexible. * If you are using CPAN.pm (or CPANPLUS.pm) to install modules into a Perl installation which also includes CPAN modules which have been installed using rpm (or yum) then you need to be very careful as it's possible to end up with multiple versions of the same module installed. For that reason, I strongly recommend _not_ installing modules using CPAN.pm, but building RPMs using cpanspec and installing those. hth, Dave... -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
