in reply to how to get hold of perl modules

Another method to install many modules from http://search.cpan.org is

  1. Download the file
  2. unpack it into its own directory
  3. copy all .pm files into the correct path below the directory where Perl resides : If Perl resides in C:\Perl, and your module is called My::Funky::Module, then there should be a file called Module.pm somewhere in the archive, and it should be copied into C:\Perl\site\lib\My\Funky\Module.pm.

This method is not the end-all, be-all, because you won't be running the tests included with the module - therefore it's better to use ppm to install modules.
