An additional note:  some modules require you to install libraries.  For
example, GD.pm requires libgd.so  These must be loaded and compiled
independently.  Once downloaded and uncompressed, building one is
similar to the Perl process:

configure
make
make test
make install

The configure command creates a Makefile.  Sometimes there is no `make
test`.  See the documentation for each library for details.
