Installing Modules with PPM
The thousands of people in the Perl community share
their modules in a place called the CPAN which is an
acronym for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network.
You can search all the modules there at this web site:
www.cpan.org
ActiveState (who makes the Win32 port of Perl) has
made it very easy to download and install a module
from CPAN. Here is an example of downloading the
Image::Size module.
C:> ppm
PPM Interactive Shell - type 'help' for available commands
PPM> install Image::Size
Install package 'Image::Size?' (y/N): y
...
...
...
PPM> quit
ActiveState has not made all modules from CPAN available
for downloading via PPM. There are simply too many!
Hopefully the one you want is there. If not, you will
need to go to CPAN directly (see link above) and do the
install yourself. Ask your teacher for help with this.
