CPAN stands for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network; it's a globally replicated trove of
Perl materials, including documentation, style guides, tricks and traps, alternate ports to
non-Unix systems and occasional binary distributions for these. Search engines for CPAN can be
found at http://www.cpan.org/
Most importantly, CPAN includes around a thousand unbundled modules, some of which require
a C compiler to build. Major categories of modules are:
- Language Extensions and Documentation Tools
- Development Support
- Operating System Interfaces
- Networking, Device Control (modems) and InterProcess Communication
- Data Types and Data Type Utilities
- Database Interfaces
- User Interfaces
- Interfaces to / Emulations of Other Programming Languages
- File Names, File Systems and File Locking (see also File Handles)
- String Processing, Language Text Processing, Parsing, and Searching
- Option, Argument, Parameter, and Configuration File Processing
- Internationalization and Locale
- Authentication, Security, and Encryption
- World Wide Web, HTML, HTTP, CGI, MIME
- Server and Daemon Utilities
- Archiving and Compression
- Images, Pixmap and Bitmap Manipulation, Drawing, and Graphing
- Mail and Usenet News
- Control Flow Utilities (callbacks and exceptions etc)
- File Handle and Input/Output Stream Utilities
- Miscellaneous Modules
The list of the registered CPAN sites as of this writing follows. Please note that the
sorting order is alphabetical on fields:
Continent | |-->Country | |-->[state/province] | |-->ftp | |-->[http]
and thus the North American servers happen to be listed between the European and the South
American sites.
You should try to choose one close to you.
