== Testing for Installed Modules ==
To test if you have a module, try to run the command
<pre>
perl -e "use Module::Name"
</pre>
If there are no errors, you are in business.

Testing for presence and version number:
<pre>
perl -MGD -e 'print $GD::VERSION';
perl -MSet::Array -e 'print $Set::Array::VERSION';
perl -MGetopt::Long -e 'print $Getopt::Long::VERSION';
</pre>

== Installing from CPAN ==
To install directly from CPAN:
<pre>
perl -MCPAN -e shell
</pre>
This opens the interactive CPAN download/install tool. At the cpan prompt, type
<pre>
cpan> install Set::Scalar
</pre>
Alternatively, you can just type this:
<pre>
perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::BioPerl"
</pre>
Hint: upgrade to the latest version of CPAN:
<pre>
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
</pre>

== Installing from binary package ==
What To Do Once You've Downloaded A Module From The CPAN
href="http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html

After upacking the perl module package, cd to the newly created directory and enter these commands:
<pre>
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
</pre>
