perl statistics descriptive question

English Programming/Scripting
#1

Hi
i’m trying to install an application that depends on perl statistics descriptive. i have downloaded the source frome here but don’t now how to install it. the package contains this files: UserSurvey.txt, test.pl, README, MANIFEST, Makefile.PL, Descriptive.pm, descr.t, Changes. the readme dos not include any instructions. maybe it doesn’t have to be installed, if so where do i extract it or what do i do with it?

thanks

Hi
You could either use the cpan command (I prefer to use the shell) to
install. Have a look at the man page for cpan.

Usual commands are:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

That last one should be run as root as it will install the files in the system library directories.
