in reply to How to install the VmPerl module

First, make sure that you have openssl setup and initialized. You'll also need libssl and libcrypto. Don't forget to set the environmental variables for them.

Second, run the normal install.

Third, @@copy VMControlLib.dll WINDOWS_DIR\System32

If that doesn't work, then see:

    This what I did and it worked (it was the VI Perl toolkit that I needed)

    Installing VI Perl ToolKit on windows
    • 1. download and do a default install of active perl
    • 2. go to c:\perl\bin and run ppm.bat
      • a. Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences
        • I. Add the following repository for the latest version of perl (>= 819):
          http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/
        • II. For older version of perl (<819) use:
          http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer58
    • 3. exit the Perl Package Manage and give the following commands (from \perl\bin)
      • a. ppm install XML-LibXML-Common
      • b. ppm install XML-LibXML
      • c. ppm install Crypt-SSLeay
      • d. ppm install Data-Dumper
      • e. ppm install Class-MethodMaker
    • 4. Reboot your system (this is to get the right path settings activated)
    • 6. Download nmake15 from Microsoft
      • a. Run nmake15.exe
      • b. Copy nmake.* c:\windows
    • 7. go to the directory whre you unpacked the VI3 Perl Toolkit and run the following commands
      • a. perl Makefile.PL
      • b. nmake
      • c. nmake install
    You are ready now to run any of the perl example scripts or make some cool ones your self. To run a script just run the following command: perl name_or_your_script .pl
