in reply to installing a module under Win32 - spells trouble?

Dude, this is a seriously lame question.

  1. What module?
  2. What distribution of ActiveState?
  3. Have you looked at the makefile to see what commands it might be trying to run?
  4. Is Perl in your path?
  5. What O/S are you running (95/98/NT/2K)?
  6. What make utility are you using?
You need to give us a lot more information before you can expect any sort of a reasonable answer.

    sorry just really frustrated... I've been working on this thing all day. This just proves things can't be done under Windows... Finally I just started to do it by hand...
    To answer your questions:
    1. Modem::Vgetty
    2. perl 5.00503
    3. Yes I have looked at the command, and I can't figure out what the bloody hell is going on.
    4. Yes.
    5. Windows 98
    6. dmake... which won't work until the makefile.pl works...
      Hmm.. maybe I'm wrong but.. the Makefile.pl that ships with modem::vgetty contains a call to gzip (which does not exist on windows) as well as trying to use "mv" (which again does not exist on Windows). Maybe this'd be why?
      I'm just a bit confused why you are trying to use Modem::Vgetty under Windows, since vgetty only runs under various forms of UNIX...

        You see i did not know that... I am the first overweight, very tall munchkin... be very amazed.
