Re: Re: Regex Unexplained Failure

Here's another problem, now that I've managed to solve the dillema with why it was only sometimes failing. I'm stuck with ActiveState on a Win32 system, and Email::Valid does not want to run there. PPM refuses because there is no valid package for Win32, and I can't seem to get CPAN working. (I've been trying that off and on for the past year now... 10 different make programs and none of them work...)

Any suggestions?

My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.

Have you tried Microsoft's nmake? I haven't had any problems with nmake in the past and wouldn't think you would either. To install Email::Valid, just download the gzip file from CPAN and check out the README, but it is probably just do the usual perl Makefile.PL/(n)make/(n)make test/(n)make install. Since this is a pure Perl module, there shouldn't be any other problems. The only problem I could see right now is that Email::Valid requires Mail::Address. Just make sure that it is installed before you try to install Email::Valid.	[reply]

nmake was the first one I tried, and I've had the least sucess with it, even though I have Visual C++. Also, is it just me, or is this a problem? My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features. Flame ~ Lead Programmer: GMS	[reply]
