-Installing CPAN:
+==== CPAN (Perl) Repository Tips ====
-First make sure ncftp is installed.
+It seems the "cpanm" command is the best option to manage installing/removing needed perl modules if they are not available in an RPM format for the operating system (EPEL, etc).
+As root:
+  dnf install perl-App-cpanminus
+As root, to install:
+  cpanm -i Array::Diff
+As root, to remove:
+  cpanm -U Array::Diff
+__Older notes:__
+First make sure CPAN or CPANPLUS is installed using yum.
+Installing a module:
 <code>
-# rpm -ivh ncftp-3.1.9-1.i386.rpm
+# cpan
-# perl -MCPAN -e shell
+cpan> install Net::SFTP
 </code>
-Then you can install a module:
+Updating the currently installed version of CPAN:
 <code>
-# cpan install Date::Manip
+# cpan
+cpan> install CPAN
+cpan> reload cpan
+cpan> exit
 </code>
