Installing Perl Modules with CPAN

I was trying to install the latest version of XSH2. Really a very neat utility, and a must for each XML programmer. The previous revision had a bug, and I didn't know that I can install the latest from CPAN, just like I install any other software with emerge, yum, RPM, or ruby gem. Ok, so here's the steps:
  1. Login as root.
  2. Initialize the CPAN configuration. This is easily done with:
    perl -MCPAN -we 'shell'
    Accepting all the defaults is ok.
  3. Now run
    install XML::XSH2
    And you are good to go.
I didn't know it's that easy to install perl modules !
