Hello all, Running Padre with Strawberry Perl on a Windows Server 2008 box. Trying to get Parse::FixedLength installed, tried to install from the tarball and got the Makefile but alas can't execute make or make test, I think I need nmake utility for Windows. Instead of doing that I tried to install cpanm from a terminal and got the following error. I know I am making this harder than it needs to be, any suggestions on a good way to install CPAN modules on Padre. There is a tool in Padre but from what I am reading it doesn't work.

UPDATE: Never mind, this is what happens when you don't try stuff yourself. I used the Padre tool and pointed it to the tarball and it seems to have worked. Sorry for the premature question.
