cpan

cpan is a command line tool to easily interact with CPAN, currently using the Perl module CPAN.pm.

Installing a perl module

$ cpan DBD::Oracle
Forcing an installation
If the test suite does not run without errors, cpan won't by default install the module. In order to still install such a module, the -f flag can be used: 
cpan -f Crypt::Random
