Should I download Modern::Perl

prasaduco has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I was advised by some users to use Modern::Perl in my scripts. Is Modern::Perl downloadable? if so how and where? which directory should I download it to? because the code that i used

 #!/usr/bin/perl 
use Modern::Perl;

@wt = (1,2,3,4);
print $wt[2], "\n";
[download]

gave the following result on the dos prompt of windows 7 and Perl 5.1.10

C:\strawberry\perl\programs>perl pArraymodern.plx Can't locate Modern/Perl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/strawber rawberry/perl/site/lib C:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib .) at pArr 4. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at pArraymodern.plx line 4.

Whenever somebody mentions a module, searching CPAN or searching Google are good approaches to finding it.	[reply]

Usually, either your OS package manager, or if you're using a private Perl (as recommended), your CPAN client (commonly launched via `cpan` or `cpanm`) download, compile and install modules for you. See for example Yes, even you can use CPAN. If you want to install the module manually, see the README file included with Modern::Perl.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
