in reply to Installing Template Toolkit on win32

You need to point CPAN to nmake, which you can do by going into CPAN interactive mode, and issuing the command
o conf make path/to/nmake
Note that you make have to download more if command like 'mv' or 'cp' are used in the install script. If you need unix-like tools for Win32, you might want to download Cygwin tools to make this work.

    Thank you Masem. I have a simple example working.

    Anyone trying to get CPAN to work on win32 may need to fetch ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe. Note this is an installer, not the the make replacement. Need to set the config option as Masem describes above.

    Question: I had to do a force install because of errors I got due to the absence of getpwuid which isn't implemented on win32. What is this going to do to me?
