How to install CPAN packages

[Amps]

Hi

How do we install the CPAN packages, like CGI-XMLForm-0.10 in the linux system. I basically have idea of ppm through which we install in windows system ... but no idea about linux ... hw do we do it in linux.

if we have to use the tar file which we can extract using tar -xvzf ....

Thanks for help in advance :-) :)

typically you would use the CPAN shell to install modules with Linux. This part of the perl documentation should help you:

http://perldoc.perl.org/perlmodinstall.html

Note it is written for perl 5.10 which might differ from earlier version of perl.
