Re: Installing .pm module with Strawberry Perl (Windows)

Is it a complete distribution (aka tarball) with a makefile? If so, install as usual. Unpack it and then

> perl Makefile.pl
> make 
> make test 
> make install
[download]

In case of it being just a .pm file, just copy it anywhere where perl is looking ( @INC ).

perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC;'
[download]

Or create "lib" directory next to your script and

use lib "lib";
[download]

just copy it anywhere where perl is looking ( @INC ). No, place it here in the directory output by the following: `perl -V:installsitelib` [download] Or create "lib" directory next to your script and `use lib "lib";` No, that won't always work before 5.26 (because it assumes the CWD is the script's directory), and it introduces a security vulnerability in setuid scripts. You want: `use FindBin qw( $RealBin ); use lib "$RealBin/lib";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Fixed. It's a pita. Too many shells with differing quoting mechanisms :) holli You can lead your users to water, but alas, you cannot drown them.	[reply]
