Perl module install

[Ragni Singh]

Hi ALL,

I have a request to install Perl library packages (SendMail.pm, Sender.pm) on my systems. How do I install these packages. Any help is greatly appreciated and points will be assigned.

If you have network access,

perl -MCPAN -e shell

would be easiest. Then on the prompt type

install Mail::SendmMail


If you want a `better' interface, try to install CPANPLUS, which will be CPAN's replacement.

Almost all mail modules are rather old. The only `new' module that is to replace all other modules is Mail::Box, a very versatile module that is realy up-to-date with latest technology

Mail::Sendmail can be fetched from http://search.cpan.org/author/MIVKOVIC/
Mail::Box from http://search.cpan.org/author/MARKOV/

If you fetch modules like this, unpack it and make as follows:

# gzip -d < Module-1.23.tgz | tar xvf -
:
# cd Module-1.23
# perl Makefile.PL
:
# make
:
# make test
:
# make install

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn
