How do I install Perl programming? It comes in a GZ file and a TAR file.

Thanks

tar and tar.gz or tar.bz2 are zipped archieves, simple right click and extract them somewhere. then open terminal go to that folder and type " ./configure", then "make" and then "make install"
this is called building from source, commands might be wrong been hell of a while since i use linux try google
