Hello all, I am desperately trying to port some Perl code I developed on Apple to Windows, in order to make an .exe file. To do so, I need some modules.

I installed ActivePerl on Windows 7 (32 bit). That went just file. The first modules went allright as well. Problems occur when I try to install the needeed module GraphViz2.

GraphViz 2 needs some other modules. The install procedure with CPAN crashes on dependency Perl6::Slurp. dmake won't install (See log below).

Could anybody please help me out here? I really need this thing to work by tomorrow, and I am not familiar with Perl module installs.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Bas Dekker Amsterdam, the Netherlands Here's the install log:
