Add new perl modules

[Jacek]

I am new to Perl.
How can I simply add new perl modules like Date::Format, Mail::Mailer,
ApConfig, Template to Perl for NetWare 5.8.4

pure Perl modules you can simply copy to the right place below sys;/perl/lib;
modules which come with C code (*.xs) need to be compiled first...

I have downloaded TimeDate-1.16 and copied Date directory into
sys:/perl/lib, but I don't see any *.xs files.
And what next?

that's good since then its a pure Perl module (I IIRC it is)...

I have downloaded AppConfig-Std-1.07, MailTools-1.67, Text-Template-1.44 and
TimeDate-1.16.
I check modules using checksetup.pl from bugzilla.
It has found Mail::Mailer and Date::Format. But AppConfig and Template not.
What should I do?

just trust yourself that you copied it to the right place, and write a
testscript to confirm that; the minimum test would be to include the module
and print out its version number...
