in reply to WWW::Mechanize::Shell - Shell does not run

Maybe you can help us out further by posting the version number of WWW::Mechanize::Shell and WWW::Mechanize, and maybe the relevant part of the session in the console window.

You find the WWW::Mechanize::Shell version number via:

perl -MWWW::Mechanize::Shell -e "die $WWW::Mechanize::Shell::VERSION"
perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e "die $WWW::Mechanize::VERSION"

    Ok, here the relevant part of the command line... 
    C:\>perl -MWWW::Mechanize::Shell -e "die $WWW::Mechanize::Shell::VERSI
+ON"
Died at -e line 1.

C:\>perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e "die $WWW::Mechanize::VERSION"

      Your installation of WWW::Mechanize::Shell is broken then.

      On my machine, it outputs the following:

      C:\>perl -MWWW::Mechanize::Shell -e "die $WWW::Mechanize::Shell::VERSI
+ON"
0.36 at -e line 1.

      I can't help you any further except that you should maybe use CPAN.pm to install WWW::Mechanize::Shell instead of trying via ppm:

      perl -MCPAN -e "install WWW::Mechanize::Shell"

      That requires you to have a working nmake.exe installed though, which can be had from Microsoft.

        When I try to install a CPAN module make fails. I think CPAN tries to run "make" instead of "nmake"? Here the command line output: 
        Running make test

Der Befehl "test" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
   test -- NOT OK
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
