Re^4: www::mechanize::shell

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

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.
