Hi monks, I'm completely new to coding and would greatly appreciate your advice on this(probably trivial) problem. I wanted to install the GD module, and when I input cpanm GD, it spit out this:

cpanm (App::cpanminus) 1.7004 on perl 5.016003 built for MSWin32-x64-m +ulti-thread Work directory is C:\Users\einet89/.cpanm/work/1399023717.4388 You have make C:\Perl64\site\bin\dmake.exe You have LWP 6.05 Falling back to Archive::Tar 1.96 Searching GD on cpanmetadb ... --> Working on GD Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/L/LD/LDS/GD-2.53.tar.gz -> OK Unpacking GD-2.53.tar.gz Entering GD-2.53 Checking configure dependencies from META.json Configuring GD-2.53 Running Makefile.PL Set up gcc environment - gcc.exe (rubenvb-4.5.4) 4.5.4 Notice: Type perl Makefile.PL -h for command-line option summary.

See C:\Users\einet89\.cpanm\work +\1399023717.4388\build.log for details.

I figured I had to install something called libgd, so I googled it and found something named libgd-2.1.0.tar.gz Where do I have to put this file?
