What version of Perl are you using? If ActiveState, then the Perl Package Manager is probably your best bet.
Otherwise, try one of the command-line CPAN clients. Type "cpan" at the command line.
perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'
