First go to cpan and fnd the modlue name your're interested in
from command line type
ppm
then help
ppm is perl package managment. This downloads and installs modules for you (but you
have to know what you're interested in)
also check out .... type into a shell window
perl -MCPAN -e shell
also type in help here
and for good measure.. from a shell window
type perldoc perldoc which is the native battle cry of all developers from novice to
actual "water walker"
or better yet....
perldoc ppm
&
perldoc cpan
ahhh... that puts me in graces with the perl gods for at least a week
;-)
