I decided to download http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Digest/ and install it. Since I don't have root access to install this on my ISP's system (see below), where is the best place to keep the CPAN library for personal usage like this? And how do I refer to this personal usage library so it can be found by Perl and the makescripts for the install and future updates?
$ make install
Warning: You do not have permissions to install into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 85.
mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux/auto/Digest/Nilsimsa: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 139
make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 255
Thanks!

(Let's keep this on the list, for the sake of future newbies.)
CPAN refers to two things: a network of servers that provide access to just about every Perl module you can think of, and a module that simplifies and partly automates the download-and-install process. You can use either, although in the long run it'll be easier to use the CPAN module because it simplifies the download, extract, configure, make, install process to a single command, "install <module>" - and it can automatically discover and follow dependency issues like the one you encountered with Razor.
Run "perl -MCPAN -e shell" from a command line. If this is the first time you've used CPAN, it will ask you a bunch of configuration questions, mainly to determine where various helper programs are, and to determine which mirrors are closest to you. For the most part, it will auto-detect what programs you have, and except for the location questions you can probably stick with the defaults.
Once you have answered all the configuration questions, it will give you a command-line-style interface. Simply type "install Digest::Nilsimsa" and it will download, verify and install the module.
For more information, see "man CPAN".
(If you just want to download and install Digest::Nilsimsa, you can find it at
http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Digest/ or in the razor-agents-sdk package. You can also look on this site for the CPAN module if it's not already installed. I picked www.perl.com because it's easy to remember, but other mirrors might be closer to you.)
