The monastery collapses discussion nodes when they get too deep. Responding here is not a problem for those reading this thread as the nodes *will* collapse.

Anyhow, you need to switch into c:/.cpan and run the test suite, see what fails, you won't have as much control from CPAN.pm. make, make test, make install. If you are *very* brave, you might be able to skip "make test" -- but I don't recommend it.
