The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network
(CPAN)
The CPAN is the world's
distributed, replicated repository of Perl utilities.
Unless noted otherwise, you can find everything in
this column on the CPAN. Visit Tom Christiansen's
multiplexer to be redirected to a CPAN site near
you:
You'll be able to find the modules under the
author's name, at http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-authors.
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/INSTALL.html
has instructions on how to build modules on all major
operating systems.
You can also use Andreas König's CPAN module
to automatically install modules. Once you've
installed it, perl -MCPAN -e 'install("
modulename")' will automatically download,
build, and install the module for you.
If you'd like to contribute your module to the
CPAN, good for you! Read CPAN/modules/04pause.html
for details.
