Perl modules different flavours

* the tried & trusted CPAN shell: perl -MCPAN -e shell ('install blah' etc)

* with Active Perl (no repos are maintained for Solaris/OSX etc) - so their 'ppm' command is no use there. ActiveState appear to have wrapped the CPAN shell into something that's invoked by : 'cpan'.
