Encode::Detect install problems

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

Good day bros. I am having problems installing Encode::Detect. There seems to be no ppd available for it so I'm doing it manually. On dmake test I get:

C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe Build --makefile_env_macros 1 test
Generating script 'src\CharDistribution.ccs'
cl -nologo -c @"src\CharDistribution.ccs" -Fo"src\CharDistribution.obj
+" "src\CharDistribution.cpp"
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
error building dll file from 'src/CharDistribution.cpp' at C:/Perl/sit
+e/lib/ExtUtils/CBuilder/Platform/Windows.pm line 143.
dmake:  Error code 130, while making 'test'
[download]

Anyone know how to fix? OS is windoze.

TIA...Steve

Looks like you need a working C compiler environment (that should match the one your perl was compiled with). see A Practical Guide to Compiling C based Modules under ActiveState using Microsoft C++ (old post, but probably still relevant) "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"

It may be that Encode::Guess (which is available through ppm) will do the job for you. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]
