How do I install and use Perl modules from CPAN

Perl modules from CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) can be easily installed and used in your Perl projects. Follow these steps to install a Perl module and see an example of usage.

Installing a Perl Module

To install a Perl module from CPAN, you can use the CPAN shell or the cpan command directly in your terminal. Here's how to do it:

cpan Some::Module

This command will download and install the specified module and its dependencies.

Using the Installed Module

Once the module is installed, you can use it in your Perl scripts. Here’s an example of how to use the installed module:

use Some::Module; my $obj = Some::Module->new(); $obj->some_method();

Make sure to replace Some::Module with the actual module name you are using.
