Re: Installing the Net-AOLIM module from CPAN

NMAKE : fatal error V1801: '0' : program not found Stop.
Ahhh, yes, I know this. I have made quite a few comments on win32 module installing recently - see Thanks - Win32 module help and Installing modules on Win32.

As tye mentions in his reply to the first node I mentioned, the $^0 variable (which as far as I know is equivalent ARGV[0] in C, can anyone confirm?) is set incorrectly. What I did was hack the makefile manually.

This isn't recommended pratice, but it did the job! Just change the line

PERL = 0
[download]

 
PERL = perl
[download]

That had the desired effect for me.

<unrelated-question> Does anyone know of any modules for MSN Messenger (flame if you like, but it's one of M$' better products)? </unrelated-question>

That's really close. In C, argv[0] is the program name. In Perl, that's $0 (or $PROGRAM_NAME if you're using the English module. $^0 is the name of the operating system ($OSNAME in English). Cheers, Ovid	[reply]
