Re: Using CPAN

Try:

perl -MCPAN -e'install Imager'
[download]

The -e flag tells perl that the string 'install Imager' should be executed as Perl code. Without it, perl assumes that there is a file called 'install Imager' and tries to open that file and execute any Perl it finds within it.

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

:D `$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Imager' Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.` [download] win32 cmd.exe likes the double quotes OTOH `cpan Imager` ought to work even on activeperl	[reply] [d/l]
