<P>
-<em>Do</em> get the latest versions of these packages and install them
-but use the above list as the earliest versions usable.
+Copy the CPAN modules listed above to a convenient place on your computer. One good place would be /usr/local/packages, and the instructions which follow will assume that that's where you have put them.
+
+<P>
+Log in as 'root', and make sure you're at '/root' before you continue. Here are exactly the commands you must issue next: -
+
+<verb>
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/Data-Dumper-2.10.tar.gz
+# cd Data-Dumper-2.10
+# perl Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/TimeDate-1.10.tar.gz
+# cd TimeDate-1.10
+# perl Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/IO-1.20.tar.gz
+# cd IO-1.20
+# perl Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install UNINST=1
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/Net-Telnet-3.02.tar.gz
+# cd Net-Telnet-3.02
+# perl Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/Curses-1.05.tar.gz
+# cd Curses-1.05
+# perl Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+#
+# tar xvfz /usr/local/packages/Time-HiRes-01.20.tar.gz
+# cd Time-HiRes-01.20
+# perl Makefile.PL
+# make test
+# make install
+# cd ..
+</verb>
+
+<P>
+Do not fall into the trap of thinking they're all the same, just because they nearly are! Pay particular attention to the instructions of IO, above.
