How to install perl modules ?

[tibcoplord]

Hi,

A perl script I want to run requires an additional module. How can I install this ?

I would normally use the cpan command but this isn't present. When I try to install cpan ( perl Makefile.PL ) I get "can't locate strict.pm"

Also, "perl -V" returns "can't locate config.pm".

Thanks,

Peter

"Tiny Utils installs BusyBox, microperl (a small perl interpreter), patchelf, frotz (so you can play Z code interactive fiction games) and dropbear an SSH client and server. " - from Play Store.

microperl doesn't support cpan modules for the most part. You can read more about it here: http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol5_3/tpj0503-0003.html

That being said, I plan on releasing an app that supports running full fledged perl and many other useful things in the not too distant future, but it won't be part of Tiny Utils.
