Hi

I know there is lot of resources on this question. but please be patient to answer this problem.

I m trying to install the module from cpan.

since i dont have net connection in my pc (windows 2000). i cannot install via ppm. I would copy from the internet in a floppy and install it.

I downloaded the modules. unzipped it in my folder (say 'd:\modules' ). then there exists various folder like 'lib', 't'.

I copied the files from lib into c:\perl\lib.

Then i follow the three steps
> perl makefile.pl
> make
> make test

I do all these from the command prompt from d:\modules

My Questions are

1. can i do the 3 steps from the d:\moduels folder

2. a modules in turn refers to other modules and it goes on. What is the way to install all the modules related to a single module so that it works without complaining that some other module is missing.
