Hi,
I am really sorry for being 'obnoxious', but i will provide the following things
1. My Operating system is RedHat Linux 9.0.
2. My Perl version is 5.8.0, that came with the operating system.
3. My RAM is 512MB
4. My HardDisk is 120GB, of which 40GB is Windows Partition, Remaining is for Linux.
The CPAN verstion is 
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.76)
ReadLine support enabled

[download]
I actually typed the following at the command line 
install Statistics::ChiSquare

[download]

I hope these answers all the questions
Thank you again
Sameet
