If you need to install Perl modules manually, here's how it's done.
Download the module using the link given in the next section, and then
apply this magic incantation, as root:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="screen"><code class="prompt">bash#</code> tar -xzvf <module>.tar.gz
<code class="prompt">bash#</code> cd <module>
<code class="prompt">bash#</code> perl Makefile.PL
<code class="prompt">bash#</code> make
<code class="prompt">bash#</code> make test
<code class="prompt">bash#</code> make install</pre><p>
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em"><table border="0" summary="Note"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Note]" src="../images/note.gif"></td><th align="left"></th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
In order to compile source code under Windows you will need to obtain
a 'make' utility. The <span class="command"><strong>nmake</strong></span> utility provided with
Microsoft Visual C++ may be used. As an alternative, there is a
utility called <span class="command"><strong>dmake</strong></span> available from CPAN which is
written entirely in Perl.
</p><p>
As described in <a class="xref" href="modules-manual-download.html" title="C.2. Download Locations">Section C.2, “Download Locations”</a>, however, most
packages already exist and are available from ActiveState or theory58S.
We highly recommend that you install them using the ppm GUI available with
ActiveState and to add the theory58S repository to your list of repositories.
