Where do I download the CPAN shell for OS X?

Where is the download page for the cpan shell for OS X---i.e. the program I run by typing "cpan" which lets me manage and download perl packages from the cpan website?
I have this installed on my machine, but I can't remember where I installed it from. Now someone is asking me how to install it, and I don't remember the answer.
I do remember downloading a cpan package from somewhere and I think building from source to install it. But I don't remember more than that.
There is no cpan package in fink, and Googling for the answer is less effective than you'd think. I did find a cpan-mac page on Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpan-mac/), but the comments on the front page make me think it's not longer supported.

Hi billmcn,
   There was a Perl for Mac OS 9 and maybe that sourceforge project is for that version of Perl. However, the Perl that comes with OS X already has the CPAN shell in it and all you need to do to use it is to execute the command that Charles posted. You'll be asked a bunch of questions but you can accept the defaults for everything except local mirrors, which will be determined by your locale.
   If you check you'll probably find that you have "cpan" aliased to the command that Charles posted. That's what I do and it will work on OS X "out of the box."

  • Where can I download the EM from for WLS in Jdeveloper?

    Hello,
    I need to create a MDS repository based on a file for the WLS server included in JDeveloper for testing user curstomizations on fusion ADF applications. As far as I know from other posts in the forum, it seems the only way to create the repository is to separately download and install the EM on the integrated WLS, since it's not included in the Jdeveloper package.
    Where can I download the EM from exactly?
    Thanks.

  • Where can I download the full installer for flash player?

    All we find in the site of Adobe is a litle program tha DOES NOT install flash player.
    Instead, it install one litle program (install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.exe) to do the download. And it DOES NOT DO THE JOB.
    All it does is say to the user tha it could not install.
    So, the question is WHERE can we find THE REAL INSTALLER?

    Note:  64 bit installer/uninstaller will install/uninstall both 32 bit and 64 bit.
    So for a 64 bit systems, all you needed are the 64 bit installer/uninstallers.
    IE Active-X 32 bit

  • Where can I download the VCA client for windows?

    My Verizon Call Assistant software appears to have stopped working.  I'd like to uninstall ait and Install again to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Anybody know where the client software can be downloaded?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, that is the logical place you'd think to find it, however the reason I'm asking the question is that I can't find it there.
    On that page I can sign into my VCA account and see my activity.  I can download the quick start guide - a PDF.  I can download the User guide - another pdf.  I can push the Get it Now button that check my account details and tells me I already have the VCA.  I can select the Activate button and it tells me I haven't ordered the VCA
    BUT
    Nowhere can I find anything to select that downloads the software for the PC.
    I've tried the feedback button from the app to ask where I can find the software but that doesn't work EITHER and give me this error
    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)
    Nothing should be this hard but I suppose that's why there is so much activity in these forum pages.
    The website is so poorly written that even for somebody who has technical knowledge there is no way to make some things work.  I have know been trying to get this VCA client since the middle of February when my installed version partially stopped working.
    You don't see the download button huh? I gave up using VCA years ago, but I just went to the VCA website:
    https://www22.verizon.com/callassistant/
    Logged in and saw this page (I covered up my phone number):
    As you can see, I do see a download button. I clicked on it, said I wanted to save the file, and bingo, it downloaded. I have not installed it, I have no use for VCA.
    I am guessing you have a browser problem, either an add-on or some setting that is interferring. I don't know what browser you are using, but I suggest you try a different browser or try starting your current browser without any add-ons to see if you get something different.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where can I download the template libraries for CS5 Production Premium

    I have recently downloaded CS5 Production Premium but noticed that there are no default template libraries for things like Menu presets in Encore etc.
    Can anyone tell me where I can download this file from, as when I asked Adobe telephone support they couldn't give me a specific address or file name.

    I think you'll get much better answers asking in the particlar forum for the application that you're wanting templates for.  To get to the forum home page where you can choose them look at the "breadcrumbs" near the top of this page.

  • Where can I download the install disk for powerbook G4

    I recently replaced my hardrive because mine stopped working. Now I have found that somewhere along the line over the past 4-5 years I've lost the install disks for my powerbook. I was wondering how I could get my laptop back up and running by maybe downloading software from somewhere? I'm not super savy on computers, but I was told that I would be able to download the software from a site and then be able to start up and install the operating system from my imac. Is this correct, and if yes then how?
    Much appreciated

  • Where can i download the weblogic modules for apache (source/precompiled)

    I have wandered the wonderfull world of the BEA website for 2 full days now and still am not an inch closer to de download site for the weblogic module for apache. That is, i have apache and need to add the weblogic module to it.
    Complications are Solaris 10 and apache 2.0.55. So the latest versions of OS and webserver. Is there a precompiled module available or can i get the sources somewhere?
    I do have a working module for apache 2.0.53 if someone can confirm that this is supported for 55 that would be fine by me.

    At times when the sources were available I tried to build it on a "new" platform (Solaris x86 32bit) and I can tell you: it's NOTHING that is obvious. Building OpenOffice or Mozilla may appear like an easy task. It took me months to get there and to be able to just build the 'build tools'.
    On top, many of the sources are (historically) written in a Pascal dialect and are transferred to C with an own precompiler so there are three languages used (C, C++ and Pascal)  - so it's a pretty hard (next to impossible) job to learn some algorithms from those sources.
