+ <h3>Installing CPAN modules</h3>
+ <p> Lon-CAPA uses a large numbe of perl modules that need to be
+ installed. Some of these may be available on your machine already,
+ some can be gotten from packages in your Linux Distribution. Some will probably need to come from CPAN </p>
+ <p> You can check which modules you have and which ones you need by
+ running the TEST script. It will generate a CPAN_STATUS_REPORT.
+ You can install an missing perl modules by doing:
+ <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
+ <tr><td><tt>perl -MCPAN -e 'install MODULENAME'</tt></td></tr>
+ </table>
+ Where MODULENAME is the perl module you need to install.
+ </p>

+ More documentation on how CPAN works is available <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_install_Perl_modules">here</a>
