Hi Monks, I need to install GD::Graph which requires two dependencies GD and GD::Text and String::Approx I understand GD.pm is Interface to Gd Graphics Library but how can I install it? install GD.pm gives me an error 
install GD.pm                                                         
+ 
Warning: Cannot install GD.pm, don't know what it is.
Try the command

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "GD"'.                                        
+ 
Unknown shell command 'perl'. Type ? for help.

I don't know what is going wrong one reason being I am not sure what the person had done who was working on this mac before. Whether cpan was configured properly or not.
