Re: CPAN Module Installation (aka Oh, God, Here We Go Again)

Decided I'd like to try my hand at automating Windows stuff

There is your problem right there. Windows. Perl was originally developed for Unix-like operating systems, and to this very day, still works better on Linux. It works so well, as a matter of fact, I'm impressed.

But you, on that inferior OS Windows, complain that the normally perfectly working Perl systems, don't work right.

Switch to Linux, because Windows is your REAL problem.

Plasma shields UP!! :-)

Plasma shields UP!! :-) ;=) you do not need it dear zentara, I hope here we are free to express our opinion.. Indeed as stated by Athanasius Strawberry Perl come very handy if you need or want to work with not-freedom-driven OS. In real life there are a lot of systems (clients and servers) where i put my own usb key with portable perl by strawberry. I use in conjuction with UnxTools and i pipe perl's program to grep and tail for my pleasure. Strawberry also come with an uptodate version of make and dmake. no pain with cpan installation. L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]

If I wasn't used to this kind of stupid trolling repeating over and over again since I started using Perl some fifteen years ago, I would find it strange from people that swear to "There is more than one way to do it." No, Windows is not the problem, this attitude is. Jenda Enoch was right! Enjoy the last years of Rome.	[reply]

I didn't mean to impune StarwberryPerl, and I'm grateful to you and the others who make it all possible. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply]
