[Gllug] Problems with cpan install

[Alex A. Smith]

If I remember correctly as root:

> perl -MCPAN -e shell
> install GD

Should install the correct Perl modules you need (Mainly the GD ones).

I am trying to install GD::Graph::pie on a remote machine and the
install bombs out with this:

Can't locate GD.pm in @INC (@INC
contains: /root/.cpan/build/GDGraph-1.4306/blib/lib

Running make install

I find the vast amount of stuff that cpan spews our rather intimidation
and wonder if someone could advise on what the best way to go about
fixing any of this is?
