Installing Perl CPANM program
Run the following command and it will install itself for you. You might want to run it as a root with sudo if you want to install to places like /usr/local/bin.
# curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --self-upgrade
If you don't have curl but wget, replace `curl -L` with `wget -O -`.
