The MN perl module requires some perl modules to be present on the server before installation:
- CGI (for www interface, at least version 2.50)
- HTTP::Lite (for news extraction)
- MIME::Lite (for email notification)
- Archive::Tar (for theme import/export)
- IO::Zlib (for theme import/export)
- DBI (for database access)
Additionally, you will need to install the database driver corresponding to the DBMS you will use to store news. Possible drivers are:
- DBD::Pg (for PostgreSQL)
- DBD::mysql (for MySQL)
All these modules can be available as packages of your Linux distribution or can be downloaded from the CPAN.

Like any other perl module, the installation of the MN perl module is very simple. After extracting the MN archive package, goto the package directory and run:
> perl Makefile.PL
> make
> make test
> make install
If no error occurred, it means that the MN perl module is successfully installed. You can now install the mynews script.
