Hello Ossie,

I agree 100% with marto, you should use CPAN to install the Perl modules. Take a look here: How to install CPAN modules.

As a next step regarding Mapivi I found this really nice article (Mapivi 1.0 Preview).

When you enter the article read also the Install Section where it contains all relevant information such as:

######################################################################

# 
# Requirements

You need:

o a computer running UNIX (Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X) and X11 or Window
+s
  (mapivi also works at least with Windows 2000 and WinXP, but maybe a
+lso
  with Windows 98)

To install a Perl module you may either try cpan (a) or for Windows pp
+m (b) or do a manual (c) install.

(a)
Cpan will download a module (and all modules it depends on), build and
install it. All you have to do is open a shell and type:

    cpan module_name

Example to install the Perl module Image::Info: 

    cpan Image::Info

[download]

This is just a sample just read through the document it contains useful information on how to install all necessary packages under WindowsOS/UnixOS and MacOS.

Hope this helps.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!
