Error installing Time::HiRes module

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

Hello my code fellows,

I´m having problems installing the Time::HiRes in my development workstation, wich runs ActivePerl.

After I run the "perl makefile.pl", when I run the "nmake", there´s a fatal error:

NMAKE: fatal error U10077: 'C:\PERL\BIN\PERL.EXE': return code 'oxff'
STOP
[download]

I´ve emailed the module author many weeks ago, but haven´t received any response. I thought, then, of seeing if someone here has already had this problem before...

Thanks

André

When reporting errors, if you refuse to report the whole error, then you're usually better off reporting the first error than the last error. The error you've nearly quoted above doesn't convey much more than "something previously failed (and probably said why)" and so is of very little help in diagnosing any problem. - tye	[reply]

Two questions: Why are you installing Time::HiRes? It comes with ActivePerl (or Perl even). Do you have a C compiler installed? That module requires compiling to install from source. And most modules that need compiling have a ppm available so you don't have to (compile, that is).	[reply]
