The OpenGuides system is free software, written in Perl. It is available for download from CPAN.

System requirements

To run OpenGuides, you will need a webserver capable of running Perl, and the following Perl modules, all of which are also available from CPAN. We recommend you use CPAN.pm or the newer CPANPLUS.pm to install them if possible for reasons of expedience.
