installing Perl modules is normally as easy as cpan Module::Name but see specific tutorials here at PM

PS as side note: perl 5.8.8 is the version used by my grand grand mother.. if you are new to Perl jump directly to 5.22 or more. ModernPerl is very good book and is free!

If perl 5.8.8 is your system Perl read RFC: (Do Not) Modify the System Perl first; some monks here around use Perlbrew to deal with multiple Perl installation.

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
