Depending on how you installed rrdtool itself, you might/should already
have RRDs.pm - it just won't be in your PERL5LIB path. The perl modules
were installed as part of the rrdtool installation. On my system the
perl modules are in /usr/local/rrdtool/lib/perl:

dev:/usr/local/rrdtool/lib/perl $ ls
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 10 2004 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 10 2004 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4514 Oct 10 2004 RRDp.pm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3514 Oct 10 2004 RRDs.pm
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 10 2004 auto


e.g. if I run this command:

$ PERL5LIB=/usr/local/rrdtool/lib/perl perldoc RRDs

I get the docs. If you want to use the module you can of course alter
PERL5LIB, "use lib", etc. according to taste.
