    The Comprehensive perl Arhive: http://cpan.org
    You can get started using the search facility: http://search-beta.cpan.org

    Once you find what you are looking for you can use the built-in CPAN module to load modules (on a unix-type box) or ppm (on windows using ActiveState Perl)

    CPAN: 
       perl -MCPAN -e shell
   help

    [download]

    ppm: 
      ppm
  help

    [download]

    Hope this helps
