in reply to Installing Perlmonks modules on Win32

This is a somewhat non-CPAN standard distribution. There is no Makefile.PL as such. Add this Makefile.PL to the root and the install will proceed as usual. Note the single test script in t/ ends with .pl (not .t) so does not run automatically (you won't get anything when you nmake test so don't even bother) 

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile( 'NAME' => 'PerlMonks' );

Save this as Makefile.PL then just perl Makefile.PL; nmake; nmake install as usual.

Update

crazyinsomniac has a better makefile that installs the .pl files in /perl/bin as .pl and .bat files. I was far to cursory in my examination of the module.... 

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
  WriteMakefile( 
      'NAME'        => 'PerlMonks', 
      'EXE_FILES'   => ["getchat.old.pl", "getchat.pl", "getpage.pl", 
+"pmpager.pl" ],
  );

    Before I saw your 2line makefile, I wrote my own, with manifest, so here it is: 
    # Makefile.PL
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
# See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence
# the contents of the Makefile that is written.
WriteMakefile(
    'NAME'            => 'PerlMonks',
##    'VERSION_FROM'    => 'PerlMonks.pm', # finds $VERSION
##    'ABSTRACT_FROM' => 'PerlMonks.pm',
    'AUTHOR'        => 'ZZamboni of PerlMonks.org fame',
    'DISTNAME'      => 'PerlMonksChat2',
    'EXE_FILES'     => ["getchat.old.pl", "getchat.pl", "getpage.pl", 
+"pmpager.pl" ],
,);

      It was a three line Makefile.PL but like you I had to kill the VERSION_FROM bit as there is no $VERSION in it. I never use ABSRACT_FROM because it chokes on older perls. I should have included the EXE_FILES key (bad tachyon) as this gets nmake() to install these files in /perl/bin as .pl and .bat files

      As you also note I ignored the MANIFEST issue. When MakeMaker can't find a MANIFEST it just ignores the issue.

      Hat's off for doing it more thoroughly! 

      use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile( 
    'NAME'        => 'PerlMonks', 
    'EXE_FILES'   => ["getchat.old.pl", "getchat.pl", "getpage.pl", "p
+mpager.pl" ],
);
