I am trying to install Graph.pm onto Windows XP using ...

perl makefile.pl

When I run that, I get the following:

C:\Perl\site\lib\Graph-0.80>perl makefile.pl
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.

It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case, please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It usually solves this kind of problem.


(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find "C:\p4view\Apps\ActivePerl\MSI\data\ActivePerl\Perl\lib\CORE\perl.h")
I have run Perl -V and (amongst other things) I can see the line
Linker and Libraries:
ld='link', ldflags ='-nologo -nodefaultlib -debug -opt:ref,icf -
libpath:"C:\p4view\Apps\ActivePerl\MSI\data\ActivePerl\Perl\lib\CORE" -machine:x86'
I am now stuck.
