in reply to Including a new module

Hello, Anonymous Monk. First of all, please consider joining this community.

Because you're using files with ".tar.gz", I deduce you're using some flavor of (uni|linu)x.

I think you should consider reading the CPAN.pm module documentation, and using the perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::GD' command.

Of course, you will need some special command-line options, to allow you install the modules in your $HOME directory, but I think that you can figure them by yourself.

Good luck, and have a nice day!

    The vast majority of distributions on cpan are such tarballs, so you cannot make such an assumption.
