Hey there,
i am wondering.... how do i know what perl modules i have installed ( perl 5 - Vector linux) ?
and how do i install more of them ?

I think you can do what you are after from cpan. Do (as root, probably):

Code:

# cpan

As this is probably the first run it will walk you through setup.

Once you're done, and at a prompt:

Code:

cpan> m

was enough to spew a, rather long, list of installed modules.
Also handy may be:

Code:

cpan> install Module::Name

(with Module::Name being what you want to install).

This is an interface to the perl cpan.
