Installing Perl Modules

Method 1 - Using CPAN

At the prompt run the following command

perl -MCPAN -eshell

Then you can search for a module using "i /RPC::XML/" and install using "install RPC::XML"


Method 2 - Using FreeBSD ports

All perl modules in the ports tree are prefaced with "p5" so its easy to find using locate and grep:

locate p5 | grep RPC-XML
/usr/ports/net/p5-RPC-XML
/usr/ports/net/p5-RPC-XML/Makefile
/usr/ports/net/p5-RPC-XML/distinfo
/usr/ports/net/p5-RPC-XML/pkg-descr
/usr/ports/net/p5-RPC-XML/pkg-plist

cd /usr/ports/net/p5-RPC-XML
make install
