Package manager
- cpanm
- from App::cpanminus is a script to get, unpack, build and install modules from CPAN. It's dependency free (can bootstrap itself) and requires zero configuration
- cpan
- from CPAN has been distributed with Perl since 1997 (5.004). It has many more options than cpanm, it is also much more verbose.
- cpanp
- from CPANPLUS had been distributed with Perl since 5.10 (2007) until 5.20 (2014). This offers even more options than cpanm or cpan and can be installed just like cpanminus.
$ cpan App::cpanminus #initialize package manager & sudo apt install cpanminus #(optional) via apt package manager $ cpan local::lib #enables to install modules without requiring root or administrator access $ cpanm <Module>::<Name>
