Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) is a one-stop shop for all your Perl module requirements. While installing Foswiki, I had a requirement to install the HTML::Tree Perl module and this is the procedure which I used successfully:
STEP 1: Download the Perl module from CPAN.
I downloaded the gzipped, tarred module HTML-Tree-4.1.tar.gz from CPAN
STEP 2: Unpack the Perl module
I extracted the gzipped, tarred Perl module as follows and a directory HTML-Tree-4.1 was created :
tar xvzf HTML-Tree-4.1.tar.gz |
STEP 3: Build the Perl Module
The HTML-Tree-4.1 directory (as will all Perl modules) contains a README which provided the usual installation instructions of ./Build; ./Build test and ./Build install. I did not have the Module::Build module and its dependencies and was put off by having to get all that stuff, but I had root privileges. So, I did the following as the root user, to install the HTML::Tree Perl Module:
perl Makefile.PL make make install |
