Sure, try the command `cpan` on the command line. I think it is pre- 
installed on the Mac. If not, it is not hard to install.

Here is more info on CPAN;

To install something, i.e. a module. issue this command;
perl -MCPAN -e shell My::Module

Hope that helps, if not, post any questions you have here.
