Install Perl Modules, No Internet

dburke has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So, first off, I'm on Windows 2003 Server. I've been searching for a while now for some way to install perl modules with no internet. People suggested making a mini cpan, but that seems like a lot of work for two modules. I have the source for these modules and I tried to install them in cpan using `cpan .` but it still tries to connect to the internet. Is making a minicpan the only way? How do I make a minicpan mirror with just the modules I want and their dependencies? Thank you for you time.

You should be able to untar the tarballs, `cd` to the right directory and then: `perl Makefile.PL make make test sudo make install` [download] `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you for the help, but I forgot to mention that I'm on Windows.	[reply]

Then you will have to find some version of `make` for Windows and install that on your machine: make for Windows. I used to have a link to download `nmake.exe` from the Microsoft site but the link is dead now. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls.

I have the source for these modules and I tried to install them in cpan using `cpan .` but it still tries to connect to the internet. Maybe there are missing dependencies, and `cpan` tries to install them? If that's the case, you can avoid it by installing the dependencies yourself first.
