We assume that you are familiar with locating and retrieving the Perl module of your interest. This is also described in detail in the section called Software installation sequence in Chapter 6.
To install a Perl module, you need to uncompress and untar it.
user% tar xvfz a-perl-module-name.tar.gz
Enter the created directory and run
user% perl Makefile.PL
Note: You make get an error that a dependancy is not met. In this case, you need to meet the requirement and try again. The most common case is that you need to install another Perl module first.
Then run the make command.
user% make
Test the result with
user% make test
Complete the installation with
user% make install
