+CPAN
+----
+
+Most of the modules listed below are available via the Comprehensive
+Perl Archive Network (CPAN, http://www.cpan.org/).  While each module
+is different, most can be installed via a few simple commands such as:
+
+	$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
+	cpan> o conf prerequisites_policy ask
+	cpan> install Module::Name
+	cpan> quit
+
+If there are problems or questions regarding the installation any of
+the modules, please see the module's documentation for more information.
+We can't provide documentation or installation support for third party
+modules.
+
+Also, more information about the CPAN module is available via "perldoc
+CPAN".
