The manual install method is *USUALLY*
Decompressing and unpacking is best done in a temporary directory
somewhere, can usually be done with
> cd /tmp
> tar xzvf yourmodule.tar.gz
For a global install (for which Root privilages are needed) do the following:
> perl Makefile.PL
For a local install, say into a home directory or some other location:
>perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/my/perl_directory
Then build, test and install the module
> make
> make test
> make install
This is usually covered in the README of the package you down load. And
I say *USUALLY* because there are a handful of packages that don't
follow this install convention and do their own thing, again check for a
README.
