sierrathedog04 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
The command sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Module::Name' usually finds and installs the CPAN module I want on my Mac/Perl 5.10 installation.
I wish to download and install the fp module at http://search.cpan.org/~stevan/fp-0.03/lib/fp.pm. The source code identifies this module as being named fp.
But when I run from the command line:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install fp'
I get the following error:
Warning: Cannot install fp, don't know what it is.
The error message tells me to us "i /fp/" but it doesn't give any examples of how to do that from the command line. Can anybody help?
