Perl and CPAN
Perl is a scripting language. Some people really like it. I have my own feelings about it, but that’s for another day. Perl has a system to install add-on modules called CPAN, that competes and conflicts with the native package manager on a Linux install, but sometimes the only way to install a random package is to use CPAN. Here’s a quick little guide on how to do that. Standard disclaimers apply.
sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Bundle:CPAN
(press enter a bunch of times to allow CPAN to access the web and do updates)
reload cpan
install Module::Whatever
Repeat that last line for each package the perl script requires. Takes a lot of trial-and-error to find all the packages you need to install. Good luck.
