In this article I’ll show you how to install a Perl module on your cPanel account, which can extend the capabilities of your Perl scripts.<\/p>\n

It’s very common in programming for people to say don’t reinvent the wheel, basically if something already exists and does a really good job at it, there is no need to rebuild it again from the ground up.<\/p>\n

With the Perl programming language, there are what are called Perl modules, and these allow you to use already written code and functions in your own scripts very easily.<\/p>\n

Install a Perl Module<\/h2>\n

Following the steps below, I’ll walk you through how easy it is to install a Perl module on your cPanel account.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Login to your cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Under the Software\/Services<\/strong> section, click on Perl Modules<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. In the search<\/strong> box, type in the Perl module you’re looking for, in this example I’m searching for Authen::SASL<\/strong>, then click on Go<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. On the next page it should display all of the Perl modules that matched your search, in this case I’d want to click on the Install<\/strong> button beside Authen::SASL (2.16)<\/strong> to install the module I was searching for.<\/li>\n
  5. There will be some scrolling text on the page as the Perl module is being installed, when it’s complete you should see a success message such as this:\n

    Successfully installed Authen-SASL-2.16
    1 distribution installed<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s all there is to it, you should now have successfully installed your required Perl module that you were searching for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
