Hi demerphq and other meditators,

I've downloaded it and would like to install it. Instructions are as ever:
perl makefile.pl
make test
make install
Or instead of the last line, even better is
make install TEST_VERBOSE=1

Regrettably, I don't have nmake on my machine. I've only ever installed the modules using user-friendly utilities that just download and install modules/packages from activestate repository or wherever. I don't know how they work but I assume they install pre-compiled windows binaries somehow. Is there some repository I can go to to get 3.01_03 in this way?

I expect not. I don't entirely understand why PERL lib downloads need to be compiled - I thought that PERL was an interpreted language. I understand that one might wish to compile a script to make it faster but it seems odd that compilation is compulsory. Can't I just include the source into my script somehow? (no doubt, a naive question...). Perhaps some other shaven-heads have some thoughts on this to enlighten my foolish soul.

Sorry if this is all rather pathetic...

James.
