Well I've been using Activestate Perl for way to long and with Ubuntu setup I thought it about time to setup my CPAN on my Windows box it wasn't to much fun. However Ubuntu is a breeze.
These apt-get commands were required
- sudo apt-get install lynx
- sudo apt-get install ncftp
Then you just run
Follow the prompts, it's all pretty self explanatory. Very simple process.

thank you! the power of google and your helpful article just saved me quite a bit of time!
thnx.
Now I will install WWW-Mechanize through CPAN:D
What about issues of root? Where do the Perl modules installed using cpan go?
Cheers,
Thank you so much for posting, this solved a problem I encountered with setting up a Perl app within Ubuntu. At least now I can install Perl modules without any problems for the most part.
I ran into a problem with installing the following module:
WWW::Curl
I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 x86 edition (32-bit). Do you have any idea as to why I have this error message? Below is dump of the install process.
cpan[3]> install WWW::Curl
Running install for module 'WWW::Curl'
Running make for S/SZ/SZBALINT/WWW-Curl-4.06.tar.gz
Has already been unwrapped into directory /home/eha1990/.cpan/build/WWW-Curl-4.06-aMvtB7
-- No Makefile created, won't make
Running make test
Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, won't install
I'm trying to install the following modules, any helpful info would be appreciated. Your post has already gotten me farther than I've already been so far in install clive.
clive prerequisites
