MOST modules can be installed in this manner:

1.)  Make sure linebreaks are converted from UNIX to Mac.
2.)  Put module in proper place in your filetree.  i.e., Text::Wrap would
go in lib:Text:.  Mac::Apps::MacPGP would go in lib:Mac:Apps:.  CGI would
go in lib:.  "lib:" can be any directory that is specifically mentioned in
your library preferences in MacPerl.

Now, this assumes that the script is all ready to run with MacPerl out of
the box, and that you have any necessary components also installed (for
instance, the Net:: modules require the IO:: modules).

Good luck,
