Hello monks

A bit of history about the current problem : 

1. i wanted to archive a folder with files whose size i around 400 Mb.

2. i understood that Archive::Tar is not worth to do this task as it i
+s a inmemory resident

3. Later i could fine Archive::Tar::Streamed can be used for the same 
+to transfer files with greater size.

4. When i tried to install Archive::Tar::Streamed module in the server
+ box running win 2000 , it 
    it throws me the following error.

5. i assume it is because of the access rights for installing perl mod
+ule locally.

6. i could not find nmake in the server. when tried to install nmake i
+t throwed me "
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'C:\Perl\lib\Config.
+pm'
Stop."

Error :

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 "M:\ACTIVE~1.6
+\lib\CORE\perl.h")
