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

Hi,
I have successfully installed activeperl 5.8.
Then I have downloaded Win32::IEAutomation module from CPAN and installed by running the makefile.pl which is placed in IEAutomation folder.
I have got the following message,
D:\Perl modules\Win32-IEAutomation-0.5>perl Makefile.pl
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Win32::IEAutomation
But, I don't see the .pm file in C:\perl\site\lib\win32\ and C:\perl\lib\win32\

Regards,
Anbarasu

      ...and also reading the module README - in which you'll find that there are further steps (over & above generating the make script, that is)...

      A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

    Since you are using ActivePerl, I would recommend that you use their ppm (Perl Package Manager) program for the install rather than dealing with running make files, etc. I just looked on my system (version 5.10) and its in Active State repository. I think its also in Perl 5.8. Start ppm via the start menu or type "ppm" at command prompt.

    I don't know if the D:\ was a typo or not, but run this from the C:\ drive where your Perl installation is.
