Hello oh wise a great monks. I have spent a day on this without a solution so I am turning to you for help. I am trying to install HTML::Tidy on a Windows 10 server and am stuck! I know that tidyp is need so I'm trying to install Alien::Tidyp first as it searches the box for tidyp and if it's not there should install it. That's where I get this error:/

Please note I'm trying to install using CPAN. I even installed cpanm to try and get the pms thinking it might do something different. So I'm stuck my script uses Tidy::HTML but I can't get tidyp on the box so I can't install HTML::Tidy. I'm not doing anything too fancy with Tidy, here's my code:

my $contents_of_file = 1;

         @files = glob "$call_dir/*.html";
         printf "Got %d files\n", scalar @files;

         my $tidy = HTML::Tidy->new( { tidy_mark => 1,
                                       #output_xhtml => 1, # yes
                                       #output_xhtml => 1, # yes
                                       add_xml_decl => 1, # no
                                       wrap   => 76,
                                       error_file => 'errs.txt',
                                       char_encoding => 'utf8',
                                       indent_cdata => 1,
                                       clean => 1,
                                       fix_bad_comments =>1
         });

         for my $file (@files){
            $$temp_var = read_file( $file );
            if ( $$temp_var =~ m|^URL.*| ){ next }              # this
+ is empty file for error message in output.
            my $tres = $tidy->parse( $file, $$temp_var );
            print "Tidy file: $file, result is $tres\n";
         
            open OUT,'>',$file or die "$!";
            print OUT $tidy->clean( $file, $$temp_var );
            print "cleaning " . $file. "\n";
            close OUT;
         }
         $temp_var = undef;

I would be open to using another module that I could install that could do this. Up till 3AM last night trying to find a solution, not looking to go there again tonight

Thanks in advance for any help/insight!

The tired nub

PS - I also did take the time to install Cygwin thinking I could d/l the source and compile by I've got no clue what I'm doing there.
