872 Locator (URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). The distinction between

1095 <title>(Alternate) Auto Installation of Perl Modules.</title>
1096
1097 <para>There is an alternate way of installing the modules using the
1098 <command>cpan</command> shell <command>install</command> command. The
1099 command automatically downloads the source from the CPAN archive, extracts
1100 it, runs the compilation, testing and installation commands mentioned
1101 above, and removes the build source tree. You may still need to install
1102 dependent library packages before running the automated installation
1103 method.</para>
1104
1105 <para>The first time you run <command>cpan</command>, you'll be prompted
1106 to enter some information regarding download locations and methods. This
1107 information is retained in files located in
1108 <filename class='directory'>~/.cpan</filename>. Start the
1109 <command>cpan</command> shell by issuing '<command>cpan</command>' as the
1110 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user. Any module may now be
1111 installed from the
1112 <emphasis role='underlined'><prompt>cpan&gt;&nbsp;</prompt></emphasis>
1113 prompt with the command:</para>
1114
1115<screen role="root"><userinput>install <replaceable>&lt;Module::Name&gt;</replaceable></userinput></screen>

1118 from the
1119 <emphasis role='underlined'><prompt>cpan&gt;&nbsp;</prompt></emphasis>
1120 prompt.</para>
1121
1122 <para>Alternatively, for scripted or non-interactive installations, use the
1123 following syntax as the
1124 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user to install one or more
1125 modules:</para>
