Re^2: a dynamic program???

ohh, I have tried to figure out how to install the CPAN, but I know where to install it in Perl, from the @INC return value directories, but I can not figure out if this CPAN thing comes as a full module to be downloaded at once or if it is like I download whatever I need at the time I need it, I did not find like an organized way to do this, can anyone give me some clues?.. up ahead on the time I think I would need to download BioPerl, I reckon it gotta be the same procedure to downloading CPAN, is that right?

cpan comes with perl. A Guide To Installing Modules Yes, even you can use CPAN I am not root, how can I install a module in a personal directory?	[reply]

In addition to what others have said, you can - just in case you are using ActiveState - also use the Active State Package Manager to install additional modules ... just in case you get stuck with cpan and need a quick solution (but in general, it is true that you should get familiar with the `cpan` utility). -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l] [select]
