How to install and how to get cpan?

[Danrancan]

The installation instructions for this are quite limited and lack description. I want to use this module to test my nginx installation, but have no idea how to install this. The install instructions just assume that you have cpan installed (let alone know what cpan is). When i do a sudo apt search cpan in ubuntu, I get the following:

Please elaborate and explain with details if you can. Maybe we can get some detailed install instructions from this post?

Thanks

https://github.com/openresty/test-nginx#installation There are various installation options here.

 perl Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install 

This worked for me, or you could try docker-openresty(https://github.com/openresty/docker-openresty)
