Re: Problem with 'test' in ActiveState's CPAN install

If you want to install modules for Activestate, use ppm. CPAN installs require the use of a 'make' utility which is generally not present on a Windows box. Any modules not available from the usual archives (Activestate, theoryx5) generally have to be manually installed (ie unzip and manually copy the .pm files to the correct locations).

Please don't copy *.pm files by hand. (tye)Re2: Can't use Win32 Perl to FTP - no Net::FTP for Win32? contains pointers to and excerpts from standard documentation that comes with Perl that describes how to install modules. It also includes a working (I just retested it) link to download nmake.exe which is all you need on Win32 (besides Perl) to install any module that doesn't require a C compiler. - tye	[reply]
