Did you read the Windows readme for Mail::WebMail::Gmail? It shows 5 steps for installing it on Windows. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

So I tired following the directions, I got down to the install of the Gmail package and I get this error: Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for Mail::Webmail::Gmail 'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. MINCUS/Mail-Webmail-Gmail-1.09.tar.gz nmake -- NOT OK Warning (usually harmless): 'YAML' not installed, will not store persistent state Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible I tried running this from the directory that I installed/ran the nmake from the link... Any help?	[reply]

You can get `nmake` for free from MS. ( A [id://Super Search] for 'nmake' would have found Link to download NMAKE from M$). However, Mail::WebMail::Gmail is a pure perl module, so it can be installed manually. But just download `nmake` from the link above and put it somewhere in your path. Then try again.

With the Mail::WebMail::Gmail from a non-ActiveState PPM, how do I install this (with all the various dependencies) on a Windows machine You first add the necessary repositories to your ppm repository list. The 3 reps listed at randyk's webpage will probably suffice. Looking at `ppm help`, I think this means that you run the following three commands: `ppm repo add http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm ppm repo add http://trouchelle.com/ppm10/ ppm repo add http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/` [download] That done, it should then just be a matter of running: `ppm install Mail-WebMail-Gmail` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you for your advice! But I have an error, I am running this code (from the authors site) use strict; use Crypt::SSLeay; use HTTP::Cookies; use HTTP::Headers; use HTTP::Request::Common; use LWP::UserAgent; use Mail::Webmail::Gmail; my ( $gmail ) = Mail::Webmail::Gmail->new(username => 'secret', passwo +rd => 'also_secret' ); ### Test Sending Message #### my $msgid = $gmail->send_message( to => 'blah@yahoo.com', subject => t +ime(), msgbody => 'Test' ); print "Msgid: $msgid\n"; if ( $msgid ) { if ( $gmail->error() ) { print $gmail->error_msg(); } else { ### Create new label ### my $test_label = "tl_" . time(); $gmail->edit_labels( label => $test_label, action => 'create' +); if ( $gmail->error() ) { print $gmail->error_msg(); } else { ### Add this label to our new message ### $gmail->edit_labels( label => $test_label, action => 'add' +, 'msgid' => $msgid ); if ( $gmail->error() ) { print $gmail->error_msg(); } else { print "Added label: $test_label to message $msgid\n"; } } } } [download] I then get the following error: `Use of uninitialized value $host in concatenation (.) or string at C:/ +Perl/lib/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 25.
