I read it , but I am not understand very well , for example , if I want to install the module http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD...b/DBD/mysql.pm , what can I do ? thanks

# 1 .
Yes. If available with :
$ yum search <name> (or part of name)
Or : $ yum provides */<module>.pl

** There are about 290 packages perl-<module-name> in the basic "el6 repo´s".
** And 647 in the EPEL.repo .

? Why not tell the name of the required `perl module' ? ?
Some are available from 3'party repo´s.

# 3 .

# yum install perl-DBD-MySQL

first you need to run cpan App::cpanminus, only once. After that you can install any package by cpanm <module name>. so you need to type cpanm DBD::mysql. Some modules will require additional packages like gcc.
