The best way to install Perl modules is using the CPAN shell. You need to go to the unix shell and type the command:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
After this, you can install any module with the command
install module::submodule
Example:
install Spreadsheet::Read.
When setting up the CPAN shell for the first time, we recommend choosing one of the mirror servers listed in the “Europe/Russia” category.
If necessary, you can edit the configuration file - /home/uXXXXX/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm, where uXXXXX is the number of your virtual site.
Important:
When configuring the CPAN shell for the first time, answer the question:
Parameters for the 'perl Makefile.PL' command?
Typical frequently used settings:
PREFIX=~/perl non-root users (please see manual for more hints)
Your choice: []
need to answer:Your choice: [] PREFIX=~/perl
It is in this case that all necessary modules will be correctly installed in your home directory.
