Other Help Topics :: How to install CPAN?



Hi.
I installing DSL on my laptop. Now I would like to programing for Perl.

I try to install some CPAN modules but I get message (when I typing: perl -MCPAN -e shell):

Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/share/perl /usr/..... ).
BEGIN failed--compilation abort.

How to correct that problem?
You have two choices: either update perl using apt-get or load the gtk2-0705.dsl package from the GTK2 section of the repository which contains what you need to use CPAN.

I think loading that gtk2-0705.dsl package is the easier of the two.

then run sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell from a terminal.
Erm... I'm now downloading that file. May I install that some way?
yes, open the emelfm file browser, select that file you are downloading, and press the "MyDSL" button to load it.  Then you should be able to use CPAN.
THX, but how I can install make, gcc and g++? :D I'm very n00b :D
