Re^3: problem while installing the perl module manually!!!

Thanks Everyone for your valuable inputs Am able to install all the modules without any error & even able to run my perl script without any issues. Now,am facing 1 more issues ie, Am using Eclipse IDE for debugging perl script or can say for step by step execution so that i can see local variable value during run time since to view the local variable value during run time,Eclipse want PadWalker module to get install for Pad Walker module we need Visual C++ Express installed. now, my real problem: i have Win2k OS but this Visual C++ Express needs WinXP to get installed so now i got struck :-(
Can any one tell me any other mean to achieve my problem ? when i tried to install the PadWalker i got this ouput:

C:\CPAN Modules\PadWalker-1.5>perl Makefile.pl<br>
Writing Makefile for PadWalker<br>

Is it possible to view the local variable value during run time without installing PadWalker in Eclipse??

You can try the earlier release Visual Studio Express 2005 that should be compatible with your OS. There's a slight possibility that your version of ActiveState perl will be binary incompatible with dlls generated by the earlier version, it's been a while since I worked with Visual Studio. Alternatively just pick the appropriate repo for the Padwalker PPM for your version of perl. I would personally stick with the PPM method. Much less hassle.	[reply]
