Perl modules

["M.Lewis" <cajun@cajuninc.com>]

Recently, I needed to install a perl module that I was not able to find 
with synaptic or aptitude using the 'normal' repositories. I believe the 
module was File::Find::Path.

I know I can install this module via CPAN. Is this the recommended 
method when a module is not available in the 'normal' repositories?

Thanks,
Mike
