What's the easiest way to install a missing Perl module?

Question

I get this error:

Can\'t locate Foo.pm in @INC

Is there an easier way to install it than downloading, untarring, making, etc?

If you're on Ubuntu and you want to install the pre-packaged perl module (for example, geo::ipfree) try this:

    $ apt-cache search perl geo::ipfree
    libgeo-ipfree-perl - A look up country of ip address Perl module

    $ sudo apt-get install libgeo-ipfree-perl
