A Perl module is software in the Perl programming language. Often, you may use Perl modules in scripts. To properly integrate a Perl module into a script, retrieve the module from a central repository and install it on your server.
Note:
This interface installs Perl modules to the system's Perl installation. For more information, read our Guide to Perl in cPanel & WHM documentation.
