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.
Jon Orwant't http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/INSTALL.html
has instructions on how to build modules on all major
operating systems, and CPAN/CPAN.html lists all of
the modules and scripts on the CPAN.
You can also use Andreas Koenig'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.
