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

Use cpan command as cpan Modulename

$ cpan HTML::Parser

To install dependencies automatically follow the below

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan[1]>  o conf prerequisites_policy follow
cpan[2]>  o conf commit
exit

I prefer App::cpanminus, it installs dependencies automatically. Just do

$ cpanm HTML::Parser
