+<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.
