You would actually be better off using ActiveState's Perl Package Manager
(PPM). If you are not familiar with it or CPAN, it is a command line tool
that simplifies the task of installing modules.
To invoke ppm on the command line, simply issue the command 'ppm'.
At the ppm prompt, if you know the name of the module simply type 'install
moduleName' or type 'help' or '?' for a listing of the commands.
Hope this helps.
