in reply to perl gd

Well, OK, I'll treat you like a retard.

Hey retard! Why don't you tell us some useful information about the problems you're having? "I have been unsuccessful"? What does that mean, you retard?

There are two good ways to install a module. 1. download the tar.gz file (I assume you're on some kind of Unix) and...

tar zxvf File.tar.gz cd File perl Makefile.PL make make test [optional] su [enter your password] make install exit
2. if you have the CPAN module installed
su [enter your password] perl -MCPAN -e shell
This will get you to a nice interactive shell where you can type install Module::Name

If this doesn't help, rephrase your question to be a bit more helpful.
