How can I install Perl module in cPanel?

Install a Perl module using cPanel, and you can expand the capabilities of your scripts. A Perl module is basically a ready-made package of code. Therefore, you do not need to write the same code repeatedly. Simply add these modules to your account and use their functions in your programs.

cPanel makes it super easy to install and manage Perl modules. Also, you do not need any technical knowledge.

Steps to Install a Perl Module in cPanel

Let’s see how you can install/uninstall and update the Perl module.

• Log in to your Cantech cPanel account.
• Go to the Software section and click Perl Modules. This will open the Perl Modules page.
• Next, type the module name in the search box to locate it quickly.

To explore all available modules, click Show Available Modules. Otherwise, enter its name (if you know the same) in the Install a Perl Module field and click Install Now.

• Wait for the process to finish. A confirmation message will appear when the installation is successful.
• To see all modules installed on your account, click Show System Installed Modules.

You can find your installed modules under Installed Perl Module(s). From here, you can:

1. Update to get the latest version.
2. Reinstall if the module is not working correctly.
3. Uninstall if you no longer need it.
4. Show Docs to read the module’s documentation.
5. Show System Installed Modules to see all modules installed on the server.

Conclusion

Once installed, the modules are ready for use in your scripts. If you face any issues while installing a module, you can try updating or reinstalling it. For errors that do not resolve, contact our support team so we can help you troubleshoot.
