That doesn't sound right. Are you certain you have Perl installed? CPAN is part of Core Perl and should be there if Perl is installed. Try perl -MCPAN -e shell or cpan If those don't work then you most likely don't have Perl installed (I just check the package http://packages.slackware.it/package.php?q=current/perl-5.8.8-i486-4 and it does in fact have the cpan command and the CPAN module). If you really don't have CPAN, well, your system is hosed and it is unlikely that the following will work, but it is how you install modules by hand: tar xvfz modulename.tgz cd modulename perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Stop if you get an error at any step. If you are installing in a different directory than the default you can pass PREFIX=/path/to/install to perl Makefile.PL. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
