Please consult the README to check that you have the necessary
prerequisites.
You install Mail::Freshmeat, as you would install any perl module
library, by running these commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
If you want to install a private copy of Mail::Freshmeat in your home
directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with
something like this command:
perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/perl
