How to install multiple perl modules at once using CPAN

Is it possible to install multiple modules using CPAN? I've tried:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBIx::Transaction File::Basename::Object'

but I get this error:

Can't locate object method "Transaction" via package "DBIx" at -e line 1
Solution 
  • cpan DBIx::Transaction File::Basename::Object

    Use the cpan that was installed by the perl for which you want to install.

    If you have problems installing for the correct perl, explicitly use the correct perl.

    .../perl -S cpan DBIx::Transaction File::Basename::Object

    or

    .../perl -MCPAN -e'install($_) for @ARGV' DBIx::Transaction File::Basename::Object

    The problem you have is the unquoted use of DBIx::Transaction.
