You can use a CPAN module by reading its man page.
Most CPAN modules are available as packages in most UNICes.
But as I said you could simple
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Foo:Bar;'
Now after you install the package,
$ man Foo::Bar
or
$ perldoc Foo::Bar
will give you ample usage examples. With that you can begin programming.
Knowing perl without knowing how to use CPAN and benefit by it is like
learning how to cook without
knowing how your food tastes.
CPAN has a searchable interface:
http://search.cpan.org
which gives you plenty of options to figure out which module you can
start playing with.
