- V-C++ 6.0
I've been struggling with this for the past year now, and it's finaly gotten to be enough to make me want to break something. I've attempted to install several modules over the past several years using PPM, only to find that NO-ONE has a PPM version of the module. Eg: CGI-Panel, the latest one to 'not be there'.
I have attempted to install several of these modules via CPAN, using every variation on make I can find:
- nmake - download
- nmake - VC++
- make - perl power tools version
- make - unix utils
- 4 more I lost track of the source (Only one I know of that I haven't tried is cygwin)
I don't know what to try anymore, but I have NEVER gotten a module to install properly without PPM. I have tried CPAN, and downloading modules myself and going for a manual install... I have been unable to get things like mod_perl or, more recently, CGI-Panel installed. I'm getting really tired of this. Is it just me, or are other win32 users finding it to be a technical impossibility. I don't know what else to try... so I'm finaly giving in... HELP!
My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.
