In this we will see how to install PERL modules in Linux/Unix. Some times it is required to enhance a program capabilities by including a piece of code. Instead of we writing a code we can check if any modules are available at cpan.org which can be downloaded for free of cost. We can even install a module manually too. In this post we will see how to install a module in both ways.

Installing a PERL module through CPAN

Make sure that CPAN command is installed in your machine and configured. For steps click here.
Once you configure cpan command we can use it by just typing cpan at the command prompt.

	cpan

Output:

	surendra@linuxnix.com :~$ cpan

	Terminal does not support AddHistory.

	
		 
	

	
		 
	

	
		cpan shell — CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.00)

		Enter 'h' for help.
	

	
		cpan[1]> install App::Prove::State

or direct cpan install command as shown below.

	cpan install App::Prove::State

Output:

surendra@linuxnix.com :~$ cpan install App::Prove::State

From the above it is conformed the module got installed successfully.

Install PERL module manually/locally

Step1: Download your module from cpan.org site to your desired directory(say it /tmp/perl/modules)

	wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/B/BN/BNEGRAO/Net-SSH-Expect-1.09.tar.gz

Output:

Step 2: Unzipping and untar the module which we downloaded.

	gzip -d Net-SSH-Expect-1.09.tar.gz

	tar xvf Net-SSH-Expect-1.09.tar

Output:

	Changes lib Makefile.PL MANIFEST META.yml README t

	surendra@linuxnix.com :/tmp/perl/modules/Net-SSH-Expect-1.09$ perl Makefile.PL

	Checking if your kit is complete…

	Looks good

Step 3: Installing a module by using perl command

	perl Makefile.PL

Output

	surendra@linuxnix.com :/tmp/perl/modules/Net-SSH-Expect-1.09$ perl Makefile.PL Writing Makefile for Net::SSH::Expect

	Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json

	surendra@linuxnix.com :/tmp/perl/modules/Net-SSH-Expect-1.09$

Step 5: Now run make, make test and make install commands.

make
make test
make install
