Welcome to the CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network.

CPAN is an extensive collection of Perl related material
available by anonymous FTP and thus by the World Wide Web.
See below for URLs.

CPAN has scripts, documentation, modules, extensions, source code,
ports to non-UNIX both in executable and source, and more. As of this
writing CPAN contains about 120 MB of Perl goods.

The master CPAN site is ftp.funet.fi, one of the largest ftp sites
in the world, please read ftp://ftp.funet.fi/README for more general
information. The CPAN master is located at

       ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/

CPAN is mirrored widely, please select the CPAN site nearest you to
keep the networks happy. At the moment the registered CPAN sites are:

       Africa

       ftp://ftp.is.co.za/programming/perl/CPAN/

       Australasia

       ftp://coombs.anu.edu.au/pub/perl/

       ftp://ftp.sterling.com/programming/languages/perl/

To start just grab the top level README from any of these.
We apologise for the diversity of the CPAN path names but
having identical and hopefully as short as possible path names
across several separate ftp sites is well nigh impossible.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
[email protected] by email.

The CPAN is brought to you by Perl archivists (aka packrats) who have
been accumulating various Perl bits and pieces over the years. Only I
have 'signed' this message but without the work, software, and ideas of..=
