The CPAN interface is part of Perl. If you are using linux/unix then type the following at the command line:
That will put you into the CPAN shell. From there, if you have never run it, you will have to configure it so that it is setup. Just follow the on screen instructions.
To install a module, after you have completed the initial cpan setup, you would just type:
install <module::name>
For instance, it is recommended, after you complete the cpan setup, to install the cpan bundle to get the latest version. You would do that by issuing the command:
install Bundle::CPAN
