<h3>Installing CPAN modules</h3> |
|
|
|
<p> Lon-CAPA uses a large numbe of perl modules that need to be |
|
installed. Some of these may be available on your machine already, |
|
some can be gotten from packages in your Linux Distribution. Some will probably need to come from CPAN </p> |
|
|
|
<p> You can check which modules you have and which ones you need by |
|
running the TEST script. It will generate a CPAN_STATUS_REPORT. |
|
You can install an missing perl modules by doing: |
|
<table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1"> |
|
<tr><td><tt>perl -MCPAN -e 'install MODULENAME'</tt></td></tr> |
|
</table> |
|
Where MODULENAME is the perl module you need to install. |
|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
More documentation on how CPAN works is available <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_install_Perl_modules">here</a> |
