Perl Modules
Hope this is the right forum for this.

I recently downloaded Curses-1.23.tar from CPAN for installation on to
my Solaris 8 system.  I installed the module in the same area as all
my other perl modules: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5, but I noticed
there's also a directory named /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl.

Under the directory 5.8.5, I untarred the file and it created a
directory named Curse-1.23 and put everything under it.  I moved the
Curses.pm module up to the 5.8.5 directory and renamed the Curses-1.23
directory to Curses, so I can "use Curses" in my scripts.

Is this the correct way to install this module?  My scripts can't seem
to find it.

Thanks
