I am a bit confused about what I have to do exactly. Any help would be much appreciated.
Which modules did you download? Which Perl are you using?

On a Mac I would try to install modules with "perl -MCPAN -e shell" which will give you a shell and "help" or "?" works there.

If you google on: installing perl modules using CPAN tutorial

you will get some tutorials and explanations.

Later today when I have some time I will try to list all "install" commands that should be enough on a Unix system running an ordinary Perl.
