    I just want to say how fun it is to install a perl module

    So I needed a perl "module" (it ain't modular at all) for a program, it is GD.pm

    So of course you have to do geeky things to get it...

    You have to start up some sort of special terminal that has a command line with all sorts of new wonderful commands.

    sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell <<< THAT'S NOT GEEKY !!!

    Why can't I just "sudo perl install GD.pm" and it goes out and gets the 8K file from somewhere, it's a module isn't it?

    And now you have to do some really strange stuff at their command line:

    install Bundle::CPAN

    I am still not at the point of getting my module!!!

    Now it starts downloading the entire internet, here's a sample....

    SOMEONE NEEDS TO DE-GEEK THIS CRAP!!!! << thanks for letting me rant

    Re: I just want to say how fun it is to install a perl module

    Instead of ranting and expecting a programming language of all things, to be rewritten just to be user friendly, why not just install the package that's already in the Ubuntu repos?

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libgd-gd2-perl
