Apache Friends Support Forum

I am new to Linux (using debian), Perl, and Apache so bear with me please. I am creating a isolated web environment to manage some data projectors. The management protocol was implemented in a Perl module http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-PJLink/lib/Net/PJLink.pm. When I installed Debian I included Perl and Apache then after having issues I installed XAMPP. XAMPP is working fine and I have managed to run some test scripts (CGI). I had installed the the Net-PJLink module in the Debian Perl and it worked fine there but now that I am using XAMPP I need to install the module in the XAMPP Perl. Due to higher up IT security policy I am not being permitted to put my Linux Box in the Internet. How can I manually Install the Net-PJLink module to the XAMPP Perl. I have the Net-PJLink-1.01.tar file.

Umm - CPAN!

These links should be instructive... (perl -- like php that followed -- has its own infrastructure)

Even if a few of these are a bit old - the same basic system works.

Perl is known for being cryptic, its a function of the mentality of its developers. Perl is all about writing short code.

Goood Luck!!!
