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?

Answer 1

Lots of recommendation for CPAN.pm, which is great, but if you're using Perl 5.10 then you've also got access to CPANPLUS.pm which is like CPAN.pm but better.

And, of course, it's available on CPAN for people still using older versions of Perl. Why not try:

$ cpan CPANPLUS
