  9. <h1>Perl Modules</h1>
  10. <p>
  11. Most Perl modules are written in Perl, some use <a href=
  12. "http://perldoc.perl.org/perlxs.html">XS</a> (they are written in <a href=
  13. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)">C</a>) so require a
  14. C <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler">compiler</a>. Modules may have
  15. dependencies on other modules (almost always on <a href=
  16. "http://www.cpan.org/">CPAN</a>) and cannot be installed without them (or
  17. without a specific version of them). Many modules on CPAN now require a
  18. recent version of Perl (version 5.8 or above).
