Question

just a general question that arose when I tried to install a plugin (calendar). Before installation I have to add a perl module "html::CalendarMonthSimple" . It wasn't obvious to me how to do that. Is there a straightforwrrd procedure?

thanks for the help! matt -- MattPrice - 02 Feb 2003

Answer

Hi Matt, the most convinient way is to use the CPAN Modules, as root execute this command:

perl -MCPAN -e "install HTML::CalendarMonthSimple"

Also checkout:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

Also, some distributions package the more popular modules. For example, if there's a CPAN module Foo::Bar v1.05, there may very well be a Debian package named libfoo-bar-perl and perhaps even a Red Hat RPM like perl-foo-bar-1.05-1.noarch.rpm.
