Your VPS v2 has the CPAN utility installed. On the first use of CPAN, it will ask you to configure where you want to download and obtain certain Perl Module file for installation use. There are several Perl modules already installed for you on your account that pre-installed applications use. To see which Perl modules and packages are installed on your account you can use the pkg_info | grep p5 command. FreeBSD uses the pkg command to keep track of what modules and packages have been installed to the environment. To install a Perl package/module with CPAN, you can use the perl -MCPAN -e shell command to enter the CPAN utility. Once you have entered the CPAN utility, to install a Perl module/package use the command install module/package. To see if CPAN has the available module you want to install, use the i /CGI/ command with in the CPAN utility to list all of the CGI modules.
