Re: Re: Installing Perlmonks modules on Win32

you can copy them into C:\perl\site\lib\ by hand (after making a subdirectory).

...or you can write a two line makefile to do it for you as one might gently suggest the author could have done.

...or you can write a two line makefile to do it for you as one might gently suggest the author could have done. Ah, but why would I make that suggestion when it requires installing `nmake`? The package in question has no XS components. I've done by-hand Win32 installs of XS-less CPAN modules without `nmake` for several years now, to no ill effect.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Of course you and I know how to do it. That's not the point. Evidently the poster did not so the points are: Consistency Usability Reliability Why not follow the standard installation method without any good reason? make nmake CPAN PPM and CPANPLUS exist to make it easier and more automated to do tasks that can be done by hand. Of course real men write their own device drivers..... cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply]
