We're having trouble installing perl modules in a google instance.
Anyone with any success stories, please let us know!
cpan is in;
sudo apt-get install build-essential is in;
Modules appear to install, yet a `find` turns up empty!

      modules mentioned in inaccessible subroutines provoke pesky queries
