871 Locator (URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). The distinction between
872 URL and URN does not matter to the URI class interface. A "URI-reference"

1091 <title>(Alternate) Auto Installation of Perl Modules.</title>
1092
1093 <para>There is an alternate way of installing the modules using the
1094 <command>cpan</command> shell <command>install</command> command. The
1095 command automatically downloads the source from the CPAN archive, extracts
1096 it, runs the compilation, testing and installation commands mentioned
1097 above, and removes the build source tree. You may still need to install
1098 dependent library packages before running the automated installation
1099 method.</para>
1100
1101 <para>The first time you run <command>cpan</command>, you'll be prompted
1102 to enter some information regarding download locations and methods. This
1103 information is retained in files located in
1104 <filename class='directory'>~/.cpan</filename>. Start the
1105 <command>cpan</command> shell by issuing '<command>cpan</command>' as the
1106 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user. Any module may now be
1107 installed from the
1108 <emphasis role='underlined'><prompt>cpan&gt;&nbsp;</prompt></emphasis>
1109 prompt with the command:</para>
1110
1111<screen role="root"><userinput>install <replaceable>&lt;Module::Name&gt;</replaceable></userinput></screen>

1113 <para>For additional commands and help, issue '<command>help</command>'
1114 from the
1115 <emphasis role='underlined'><prompt>cpan&gt;&nbsp;</prompt></emphasis>
1116 prompt.</para>
1117
1118 <para>Alternatively, for scripted or non-interactive installations, use the
1119 following syntax as the
1120 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user to install one or more
1121 modules:</para>

1126 parameters you can pass to <command>cpan</command> on the command
1127 line.</para>
