Hi there,
To install the perl modules can refer this link:
http://theoryx5.uwinni peg.ca/CPAN/perl/pod/perlmodinstall. html
To answer your 2nd question, it's better to get it from the perl experts from this forum as even am newbiee to perl.

CPAN provides excellent documentatio on installing perl modules. To use the module, you would first install it, then, specify it in the beginning of your Perl script as such:
or even:
Those are real module examples. What you put will depend on what module you are using. To use a module, you have to look at its page on CPAN as it will instruct you in its use.

If you are using active perl you use the PPM application to install modules. Activeperl comes with a lot of documentation, so find the documentation (in the activeperl folder) and read it.
Automation could mean anything so there is no way to help with that unless you specify what you want or are trying to do.

Just a bit of advice Uber, it is highly advised and recommended in "Perl Best Practices" to put all of your "use" statements at the top of your script. You don't want to scatter them throughout your script or finding dependencies for scripts will be hell for others. I, personally, would not want to support code that did something like that. I have supported some pretty bad code and it is never fun!

If its installed, then no, you shouldn't have to install them again, just the once. I don't know anything about Perl Express, but when you run perl scripts, you should really be running them from the command line to test them.

What is the difference between Perl (CGI) and PHP (Apache module)? I thought both used servers to direct the

there's a korn shell script that i would like to wrap a perl script
around to automate it, as a task i need to do always chooses the same
options from this script (it's menu driven). can i somehow redirect
my perl scripts stdout to print to this scripts stdin? does that make
sense? thanks.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
