How can I install Perl module without using CPAN.pm?

Question

Is it possible?

Answer 1

If you are using Red Hat (Fedora, CentOS), you should use RPM for Perl dependencies wherever possible. Perl packages are almost always named perl-Module-Name, e.g. perl-DBI, perl-Spreadsheet-WriteExcel, etc.

On Ubuntu the naming scheme is libmodule-name-perl.
