</p></div> perlmod - Perl modules (packages and symbol tables) Packages Perl provides a mechanism for alternative namespaces to protect packages from stomping on each other's variables. The old package delimiter was a single quote, but double colon is now the preferred delimiter, in part because it's more readable to humans, and in part because it's more readable to emacs macros. Symbol Tables This prints #! Search the CPAN - metacpan.org. App::cpanminus - get, unpack, build and install modules from CPAN. App::cpanminus - get, unpack, build and install modules from CPAN Run cpanm -h or perldoc cpanm for more options. cpanminus is a script to get, unpack, build and install modules from CPAN and does nothing else.
It's dependency free (can bootstrap itself), requires zero configuration, and stands alone. When running, it requires only 10MB of RAM. There are several ways to install cpanminus to your system. Package management system There are Debian packages, RPMs, FreeBSD ports, and packages for other operation systems available. Installing to system perl You can also use the latest cpanminus to install cpanminus itself: This will install cpanm to your bin directory like /usr/local/bin (unless you configured INSTALL_BASE with local::lib), so you probably need the --sudo option. Installing to local perl (perlbrew) to install the cpanm executable to the perl's bin path, like ~/perl5/perlbrew/bin/cpanm. Downloading the standalone executable perl 5.8 or later. Another CPAN installer? But why a new client? The Perl Community - www.perl.org.
