in reply to How do I use a module?
When did Strawberry Perl begin using ActiveState's ppm utility?
Correctly installing modules isn't just a matter of copying files into some path. There's more to it than that. Fortunately, Strawberry Perl gives you most of what you should need. I've got a clean install of Strawberry Perl on a VM that I was able to test. All I had to do was type:
cpan install Win32::Clipboard
...and presto. No messing around with copying things all over the place, and the XS component was compiled correctly for me.
Update: I stand corrected on the ppm question. Nevertheless, the method for installing using cpan install Win32::Clipboard works, and is probably the preferred means.
