Re^3: Perl Mod Install

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

The majority of CPAN-modules on a Windows machine can be installed without problems through use of CPAN. I only used `ppm` for modules which need to be run through a C-compiler. Since ActiveState Perl now recognizes the MiniGW environment, you can even compile such modules through CPAN!
