Any idea how I can install File::ReadBackwards?Install it from CPAN: perl -MCPAN -e shell (It will ask you for configuration details the first time it's run, then: ) install File::ReadBackwards
BTW don't follow it's advice to upgrade CPAN.pm or it will try to upgrade your whole perl installation.
And it's a good idea to apt-get install libterm-readline-gnu-perl before entering the CPAN shell, so that line editing/history works.
