The Perl module packages add useful objects to the Perl language. Modules utilized by packages throughout BLFS are listed here, along with their dependencies.
Install Perl modules by running the following commands:
perl Makefile.PL && make && make install
The module listed below requires a modification in order to install successfully.
perl Makefile.PL --without-guessing && make && make install
There is an alternate way of installing the modules using Perl's built-in install command. The command automatically downloads the source from the CPAN archive, extracts it, runs the commands mentioned above, and removes the build tree.
Start the perl shell with the commands:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
Each module may now be installed from this shell with the command:
