Hello monks,

I'm having trouble accessing modules from CPAN. I'm trying to get the Statistics::Distributions::Ancova module but I can't even get in. This is what my Command Prompt looks like (I'm on Windows 7)

C:\Users\Ryan>perl -MCPAN
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
[download]

So I figured maybe the command prompt was actively doing something that I couldn't see but after an hour or so I gave up on it. Nothing more happened so I terminated the command. I think that I have to set up a gcc environment (duhr!). It's odd, I've never had my Command Prompt try to command me before...Does anybody have any idea how to do this?

On that note, please monks! I beg thee. I've been all over Google but I can't find anything.

I love you guys (and gals) ♥
