biochris has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all, several attempts to install Win32::AdminMisc in Perl 5.8.6 running on Win2k Pro have failed. It seems I cannot get any info for this latest perl version. Any clue is appreciated from the monks. Thanks

    Your query is lacking some key information.

    • What type of Perl for windows? Is it ActiveState, compiled from the official sources, PXPerl, or something else?
    • What is the source of the module package? Is it CPAN, ASPN, etc.?
    • What do you mean by 'failed'? Is the compile failing, tests failing, installation failing? Or, does the module not behave as you expect even though it appears to be installed? Details, logs, screen captures, etc. would be helpful.
    I suggest using the 'Update' capability on your node to add this information. You may also wish to read about asking better questions, which should help you get faster responses both here and in other technology fora.

    The Eightfold Path: 'use warnings;', 'use strict;', 'use diagnostics;', perltidy, CGI or CGI::Simple, try the CPAN first, big modules and small scripts, test first.

    The last time something failed to run on my computer, it's because it wasn't on. Did you make sure your computer was on?

    Maybe you're the one who should be providing the clues so we can help you find the answer.
