Hello. First time here.
I am interested in installing the Geo::Coder module. I am using activestate 5.6.1. The ppm available is for perl 5.8.8. Activestate suggested I use CPAN for my version of Perl. I'd never used the CPAN module before.
I tried it and CPAN created a .cpan/ directory on my C: drive and installed tons of stuff there. However, my c:/perl/lib and c:/perl/site/lib directories appear unchanged.
Geo::Coder also seems to rely on Geo-Fips, Geo-StreetAddress and Geo-TigerLine. All of these are in this new .cpan/ directory
I tried adding push(@INC,"c:\\.cpan\\build\\") ;
prior to my
use Geo::Coder::US;
invocation with no success.
I also manually added c:\perl\lib\geo and copied the relevant modules over from .cpan to it. Again, no success.
Is there hope that I could use the geocoder modules on my existing platform?
Thank you very much.
