## Version List

This is a list of all versions available on CPAN. You may want to check the Report Tab to make sure the version you want to install is compatible with your system. Click on the "Check For Other Versions" text to populate this list.

## Install

Install the selected version, or the most up-to-date version (if no version is selected) of a module.

## Uninstall

Uninstall the selected module.

## Check For Other Versions

Clicking on this text retrieves the versions available from CPAN, and populates the version list. The version information is not automatically retrieved when you select an item, because it may take some time to get the necessary inforamtion.

## Disable Dependency Check

Check this to disable dependency checking, if you want to force a module to install with no dependecies.

## Install Order

The buttons after this text are used to directly invoke part of the installation process on a module. They are listed in the order they are called during the installation process, when clicking on Install.

### Fetch

Download the module to disk.

### Extract

Extracts the module from its archive.

### Prepare

Prepares the module for installation.

### Build

Builds the module from source.

### Test

## Get Extended Info

This button retrieves and populates all the information in all the other tabs in the Information Panel. As this may take quite a while, intercting with those tabs individually is recommended.
