Abstract
A CPAN module is released into an unpredictable environment. Nothing is certain—operating system, version of Perl, and the availability of other modules will vary from user to user. To combat this variability, CPAN modules come packaged in module distributions. A module distribution includes all the files necessary to build, test, and install your module.
