Hello, I'm sort of a novice at installing perl modules. I'm on a Vista PC. I have Active Perl 5, and it works ok. I have Maple 12. And I saw that there is a perlmaple..

So I'm down loading all these tar files from CPAN and I have winzip and everything is unpacking.

C:\Users\pcusername\Documents\PerlMaple has:

Make-1.00
PerlMaple-0.06
Test-Deep-0.103
Test-NoWarnings-0.084
Test-Simple
Test-Tester

then I get to:

perl Makefile.PL
perl -I. pmake
perl -Mblib pmake test
perl -Mblib pmake install
And I can get perl Makefile.PL to run, but the perl -I. pmake doesn't work

C:\Users\pcusername\Documents\PerlMaple\Make-1.00>perl -I. pmake Reading Make.pm Reading C:\Users\pcusername\Documents\PerlMaple\Make-1.00\makefile Cannot recurse Make - no target C:\Perl\libConfig.pm in C:/Users/pcusername/Document s/PerlMaple/Make-1.00 at Make.pm line 454.

so obviously I have placed the new stuff in the wrong place

perl is installed at C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe

and there is a PATH variable that describes this location.

So I think I just need to know where to put all the new stuff before I try to nmake, pmake, make, etc.

Help. Thanks!
