Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be asking this, but I'm out of ideas. Hopefully, if this is the wrong place the question will never make it as far as Newest Nodes.

I'm trying to install Win32::NetResource on a my laptop (which runs Ubuntu Linux) because I thought it might help answer accessing another widows machine.

Using the CPAN installer gives me the following error:
ERROR from evaluation of /home/username/build/libwin32-0.191/Process/Makefile.PL: Undefined subroutine &Win32::IsWinNT called at ./Makefile.PL line 4.

If I look at the file it is complaining about, it contains the following at line 4:

'DEFINE'    =>   (Win32::IsWinNT() ? '' : '-DSTRICTLY_WINDOWS95'),

What I would like to know is how I managed to break this install(?) and where do I find the subroutine called in the Makefile.
