# [Install perl|http://www.perl.org/get.html] (if you're on a sane Linux (or Cygwin) system you'll have this already, of course)
# Run the program: {{cpan}}
# Let it configure the defaults (just hit Enter)
# Then make sure you can install it globally by running the following (notice the lower-case "O" at the start, which is part of the command):
** {{o conf make_install_make_command 'sudo make'
o conf commit}}

Now you should be able to use it freely, for example:
{{install Clipboard}}
