This assumes that you have grabbed a copy of the ubuntu hardy server
cd from the ubuntu.com website.
1. Install all dependent packages for CPAN
sudo apt-get install build-essential
2. invoke the cpan command as a normal user
$cpan
But once you hit on enter for “cpan” to execute, you
be asked of some few questions. To make it simple for
yourself, answer “no” for the first question so that
the latter ones will be done for you automatically.
3. Once the above is done, you will be present with the cpan
prompt. now enter the commands below
make install
install Bundle::CPAN
4. Now all is set and you can install any perl module you want. examples of what installed below
cpan prompt> install IO::File
cpan prompt> install Net::SMTP_auth
cpan prompt> Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper
cpan prompt> Mail::POP3Client
JUST OPEN SOURCE MATTERS!

This website online is mostly a walk-through for the entire info you wished about this and didn’t know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and you’ll definitely discover it.

The next time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my option to learn, but I actually thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you possibly can repair when you werent too busy searching for attention.
