Hail thee fair monks!
I have a module that I’m trying to test on my WinME OS. Being used to working on a Solaris OS for the most part of my conscious life, I posses little expertise in the fine details of installing Perl modules on Windows systems. I did learn a fair amount from various posts on related subject I could find throughout the monastery as well as on the web. Some of the good threads are these:
However, they didn’t seem to touch bases on the particular issue I’m faced with now.
The module I’m trying to build/install module doesn’t require any C compiler. Therefore, I could easily install it manually for immediate use in my other scripts. However, what is needed now is to actually test the modules. I’ve tried to do this by running this command:
C:\path\to\module\perl Makefile.PL
The script starts out well and even prompts me for information to connect to a MySQL database required by the test scripts. Once I’ve entered all required information, the script seems to continue doing its job for a second or two after which my computer will cease to operate. I hit the keyboard keys (geeeeeeentlly :) and hear those annoying ‘beep’ sounds. A few moments passed and I receive the infamous blue death screen asking me to either wait or press the Ctrl-Alt-Del combo to reboot the system.
Here are a few technical details that might give you a better idea of a probable cause:
OS: WinME
MySQL version: Ver 3.23.49-max-debug for Win95/Win98 on i32
Perl (ActiveState) version: v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Module I’m trying to install: DBIx::FullTextSearch
Thank you in advance! ;)
