I’m trying to code a litte RSS Parser in perl. Just as simple as possible.
To parse a rss feed (e.g. http://www.rssfeedhomepage.com/rssfeed.xml) I want to use a module from the CPAN Homepage, because it’s much easer than create an own one.
But I’m not able to install it. I tryied it using the shell ( “perl -MCPAN -e shell”) and manually (unzip, install, make) but it didn’t work out. I tried it with severals RSS modules but everytime the same problem. Do you have any ideas?
I’m using ubuntu linux as a VM on Windows 7.

Thanks!

    I suggest using the awesome cpanminus tool to install a module from CPAN:

    First install cpanminus itself:

    $ curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus

    Then install whathever module you want like the following:

    $ sudo cpanm Some::Module

    cpanminus should work out of the box, it’s a zeroconf tool written by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa
