一些常用模块的简单描述 http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/perlmodlib.html

在perl 中使用模块：
模块的下载地址：http://www.cpan.org/modules/01modules.index.html
安装模块：
1. perl Makefile.PL
2. make
3. make test
4. make install
也可以用如下命令安装模块(已知的适用的系统redhat 9.0，其他的我不知道，请大家试试看 :) 。
perl -MCPAN -e shell>

接着输入：install MODEL_NAME

查看模块的帮助：
perldoc MODEL_NAME
例如：
perldoc Net::FTP
