One other caveat I would throw out there, and maybe this is just something funky with our solaris boxes at the office, but we find that the installed modules sometimes need to be chmod'd so that they can be usable (for some reason, things come out 0440 and 0660 - no world permission to, say, load the module ;) ). Other than that, read the faq ( http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html)
"I have never written bad code. There are merely unanticipated features."

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
