-<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.

+Log in as 'root', and make sure you're at '/root' before you continue. Here are exactly the commands you must issue next: -

+# cd Data-Dumper-2.10
+# perl Makefile.PL
+# make test

+<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.
