The easiest way to install it is outlined in the Tutorials section, under A Guide to Installing Modules

However, here is a quick and easy way to do it..
From the command line: 

bash$ perl -MCPAN -e shell

[download]
If you have already used CPAN.pm before you will get a command prompt where you type in install File::Remote Otherwise it will take you through an interactive setup, which allows you to choose a whole bunch of different mirrors to get the packages from, nifty! See below for more visual instruction: 
cpan>install File::Remote

[download]
If you're going to install it with the files you found on cpan.org, then follow the instructions in the above mentioned Tutorial.

Infact, just ignore what I wrote and go view that tutorial, as I'll probably only confuse you!

P.S. I forgot to mention, it will find all dependencies for you, as far as modules are concerned!
