An [Acronym] for __C__omprehensive [Perl] __A__rchive __N__etwork [http://www.cpan.org/misc/jpg/cpan-plain.jpg] A vast collection of [Free] [Perl] software and documentation. If you're a [Perl] programmer, you're the kid and [CPAN] is the candy store. See [the CPAN main page | http://www.cpan.org] for more info and lots of sweets. Quickest way to use CPAN to get modules is like this: perl -MCPAN -e "shell" However, many of the more popular modules are in [Debian] and undoubtedly the other distributions as well, so you're better off using the package management if you can. In Debian at least, look for packages named lib<something>-perl. For example, the libdbd-pg-perl provides the DBD::Pg module from CPAN. (RedHat merely calls this package DBD-Pg.)
