in reply to GD-Graph for ActivePerl

You have to download GD-Graph and GD-Text from CPAN and install/compile them.

Because you are on Windows you might want to look at a little document by Jenda Krynicky, called How to install modules into ActivePerl by PPM or from CPAN.

    If I want to install them by hand, what are the files that I need? GD.pm and Graph.pm?

      GD has a binary component (GD.DLL), which means that to install it from CPAN, you will need a compiler--the same compiler as was used to build your copy of perl, which means MS VC++ if you are using ActiveState perl. If you don;t have access to a (correct) compiler, you will need to install it from a pre-compiled source.

      PPMs for GD and several other GD-* packages are available from here.

      Either set a PPM repository to point to the link above 

      ppm>rep add kobes http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/

      [download]

      and then install using PPM in the normal way, or download the PPM/PPD files from that link and use point PPM at them.

      supersearch turned up this Re: Re: How to install GD.pm? post.

      PodMaster's links (especially A Guide to Installing Modules from tachyon)will explain how to do this better than I can.

        Thanks, BroserUK!

        I downloaded GD.ppd, GDGraph.ppd and GDTextUtil.ppd and installed the respected modules through the normal PPM. Have I installed all the required modules to do graphs?
