in thread Perl Module Installation in Windows XP

At least your directory for running nmake.exe is different. In the anonymous post above, you have C:\.cpan\build\File-Grep-0.02 as the directory where File::Grep got unpacked into, but here you run the stuff in C:\apache2triad\perl\bin\File-Grep-0.02. I'm not sure what Makefile.PL or nmake are trying to do here. You should better try what you did within the cpan shell again.

    I tried within the cpan shell.

    The problem remains the same.

      Searching for your error message via Google (which you could have done by yourself, already) gives lots of relevant results. All of them indicate that somehow your Config.pm is broken. Maybe it comes broken already by default. Most likely, there is a path ending in Perl\\lib where it should be Perl\\lib\\.

      As that error seems to happen not only to you, my guess is that the Perl installation that comes with Apache2Triad is broken. You can either try to fix Config.pm or use another Perl distribution, like the original ActiveState Perl distribution, or Strawberry Perl.

      Hi,
      now you ask for Win32::Console::ANSI. I was easily able to install it via ppm (Perl Package Manager) without having to install nmake or similar. If you do not have a working cpan shell or ppm, you should seriously consider to install ActiveState Perl or Strawberry Perl
