Re: Desperately needing help with Storable

You have installed it by simply copying over the .pm file into your perl libraries directory. Thats not how it works. You need a C compiler, and a make tool (most likely nmake on Win32). If you're a beginner, it's probably a lot easier for you to type:

C:\&gt; ppm
ppm&gt; install Storable
...
ppm&gt; quit
[download]

And it will install a pre-compiled binary for you. Matt.

Thanks. I don't have a compiler or a make tool. I have not installed many modules - one or two - and have not had this problem before. I'll start looking.	[reply]

If you are using ActiveState Perl, use their PPM installer. ActiveState has precompiled binaries for most the common ones, hence you will not need a compiler to install. <cite>Just a tongue-tied, twisted, earth-bound misfit. -- Pink Floyd</cite>	[reply]
