I am trying to install a model called "Imager". The cpanm site provides much info on the package, including that the package has recently been upgraded. I downloaded a tar.gz and also unzipped that to get the .tar. However, I first tried loading it directly from cpanm: 

cpanm Module::Imager

| Finding Module::Imager on cpanmetadb failed.
| Finding Module::Imager () on mirror http://www.cpan.org failed.
| Couldn't find module or a distribution Module::Imager

[download]

Next, I tried installing from the local copy I had downloaded: The online writeup at Strawberry says that I should try this: 

perl Makefile.pl --libpath=c:\downloads\perl\imager\Imager=1.012.tar.g
+z

[download]

Perl says it cannot find an executable called "Makefile.pl". I looked around and found the following ... 

\Strawberry\perl\vendor\lib\Mojolicious\Command\generate\makefile.pm

[download]

Is this the same thing? Should I try to run that directly? What am I doing wrong?
