885 Resource Identifier can be further classified as either a Uniform Resource
886 Locator (URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). The distinction between
887 URL and URN does not matter to the URI class interface. A "URI-reference"

1117 <title>(Alternate) Auto Installation of Perl Modules.</title>
1118
1119 <para>There is an alternate way of installing the modules using the
1120 <command>cpan</command> shell <command>install</command> command. The
1121 command automatically downloads the source from the CPAN archive, extracts
1122 it, runs the compilation, testing and installation commands mentioned
1123 above, and removes the build source tree. You may still need to install
1124 dependent library packages before running the automated installation
1125 method.</para>
1126
1127 <para>The first time you run <command>cpan</command>, you'll be prompted
1128 to enter some information regarding download locations and methods. This
1129 information is retained in files located in
1130 <filename class='directory'>~/.cpan</filename>. Start the
1131 <command>cpan</command> shell by issuing '<command>cpan</command>' as the
1132 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user. Any module may now be
1133 installed from the
1134 <emphasis role='underlined'><prompt>cpan&gt;&nbsp;</prompt></emphasis>
1135 prompt with the command:</para>
1136
1137<screen role="root"><userinput>install <replaceable>&lt;Module::Name&gt;</replaceable></userinput></screen>

1139 <para>For additional commands and help, issue '<command>help</command>'
1140 from the
1141 <emphasis role='underlined'><prompt>cpan&gt;&nbsp;</prompt></emphasis>
1142 prompt.</para>
1143
1144 <para>Alternatively, for scripted or non-interactive installations, use the
1145 following syntax as the
1146 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user to install one or more
1147 modules:</para>
