If you're going to manually patch a distribution, you forego most of the automation that CPAN provides you and have to do the steps manually:
- Download and unpack the distribution. If in a hurry, you can let CPAN do that for you:
cpanm --look Devel::CallParser
or
cpan
CPAN> look Devel::CallParser
</li>
<li>Patch the distribution:
<c>
patch < rt110623.patch
- Test the distribution:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
- Install the distribution:
make install
- Keep a backup of the current directory, for the next installation
