Re^3: www::mechanize::shell

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.
[download]

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"
[download]

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` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You can check the program that Perl will try to run as `make` via the following command: `perl -V:make` [download] On my platform, this outputs the following, and as you use ActiveState Perl, it should output the same for you: `C:\>perl -V:make make='nmake';` [download] I think that your Perl or `ppm` installation is broken. If you think that all prerequisites for WWW::Mechanize::Shell installed OK, you can try the "manual installation" as outlined by holli in A guide to installing modules for Win32.
