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

Many times it does happen that cpan install command fails with the message like "make test had returned bad status, won't install without force"

In that case following is the way to install the module:

perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::Shell->force(qw(install Foo::Bar));"
