    Well, you didn't answer all my questions so it's hard for me to offer sensible advice. :(

    Generally, copying and pasting is not a recommended way to install CPAN modules, it's an act of desperation. What is your "dev machine"? Your own private machine? Or shared by many folks in your company? What steps have you used in the past to install CPAN modules on it?

      I have script to install perl modules on windows, which takes tar.gz files from the directory unpacks it and install the modules in other directories.
      in this process i am getting error for GD module, as i said i did try to install it manually by running perl MakeFile from the GD folder but gets above mentioned error.
      That is why i was thinking if i could copy and paste it , if i can should i copy files from auto too.
      I hope it is clear now.
      Thank you.

        The cpan and cpanm scripts can also take downloaded .tar.gz files for installing modules instead of downloading them from the internet. Maybe you want to use these?
