It is recommended to copy and paste each cpanm command individually, as they may be interactive. If cpanm commands ask for options, choose the defaults.

Before installing cpan packages check that there are no PERL environment variables set. If there are, packages may be installed into root's home directory and processes may not work when started on system boot. You should remove the variables from /root/.bashrc (or wherever set them) and then logout and login to the shell to clear the variables. To check for PERL environment variables run:

  • env | grep PERL
