Perl Mod Install

mantra2006 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks I am trying to install SCP module downloaded from the CPAN site.
I followed the instruction given in the site http://search.cpan.org/~jhi/perl-5.8.0/pod/perlmodinstall.pod
A. DECOMPRESS
Decompress the file with gzip -d yourmodule.tar.gz
B. UNPACK
Unpack the result with tar -xof yourmodule.tar
C. BUILD
Go into the newly-created directory and type:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
D. INSTALL
While still in that directory, type:
make install
I am following the above steps...but I am getting the following error

$ perl Makefile.PL 
Warning: prerequisite Net::SSH failed to load: Can't locate 
Net/SSH.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/APPS_SRV/perl/lib C:/APPS_SRV/pe
+rl/site/lib .) at (eval 5) line 3. 

Warning: prerequisite String::ShellQuote failed to load: Can't locate 
+String/ShellQuote.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
C:/APPS_SRV/perl/lib C:/APPS_SRV/perl/site/lib .) at (eval 6) line 3. 

Writing Makefile for Net::SCP 
$  make 
make: Error -- rem: The system cannot find the file specified. 
make: Error code -1

Any ideas where I am making mistake...is there way that I can get SCP library itself so that I don't have to create in my local system

You also need to install Net::SSH first On the command line: `ppm install Net-SSH` Edit You're also missing String::ShellQuote. You could install this using ppm as follows: `ppm install String-ShellQuote` But it would be better to let ppm handle the dependencies. `ppm install Net-SCP` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`make: Error -- rem: The system cannot find the file specified.` The above error indicates that you don't seem to have make (or nmake) on your system. You may find the following helpful: "A Practical Guide to Compiling C based Modules under ActiveState using Microsoft C++".	[reply] [d/l]

If possible, try to install the module using CPAN. It's so much easier! --- It's all fine and dandy until someone has to look at the code.	[reply]

On unix machines you typically install modules like this: `perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SCP' # Or perl -MCPAN -e 'shell' install Net::SCP` [download] But since you are on a windows machine you should use ppm, which is provided with activeperl. `ppm install Net-SCP` [download] Note that ppm likes Net-SCP instead of Net::SCP	[reply] [d/l] [select]
