I'm trying to see how trying to set up a new Perl install {in case, for example, if my main one breaks}. I've run
cpan autobundle
and I located the "bundle file" and I read the .pm and it says that to install everything all you need to do is
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Snapshot_2022_10_25_00'
so I'm on an "empty" system, I ran the strawberry perl .msi and it seemed to install just fine. I copied the autobundle over to the new system -- I put it on the desktop and that didn't work so I copied what I had on my "real" system and in the strawberry perl directory I created a cpan/bundle directory and tried again. I got
C:\Users\Bernie\Desktop>perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::Snapshot_2022_ +10_25_00" Database was generated on Tue, 25 Oct 2022 22:53:07 GMT Warning: Cannot install Bundle::Snapshot_2022_10_25_00, don't know wha +t it is. Try the command i /Bundle::Snapshot_2022_10_25_00/ to find objects with matching identifiers.
What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing the trouble is that I haven't a clue where to *put* the autobundle file so that perl can find it.
