Re^3: successfull Installed module vanished

I have no problems getting the PPD

<SOFTPKG NAME="Math-GMP" VERSION="2,04,0,0">
 <TITLE>Math-GMP</TITLE> 
 <ABSTRACT>High speed arbitrary size integer math </ABSTRACT> 
 <AUTHOR>Chip Turner</AUTHOR> 
 <IMPLEMENTATION>
  <OS NAME="MSWin32" /> 
  <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8" /> 
  <CODEBASE HREF="http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Math-GMP.tar.g
+z" /> 
  <PROVIDE NAME="Math::GMP" VERSION="2.04" /> 
 </IMPLEMENTATION>
</SOFTPKG>
[download]

And I had no problems installing it (ActivePerl 5.8.8).

>ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Math-GMP.ppd
Downloading Math-GMP-2.04...done
Unpacking Math-GMP-2.04...done

>perl -le"use Math::GMP; print Math::GMP->VERSION"
2.04
[download]

I think installation consists of unzipping and generating docs. If you're ok with skipping the latter, just do the former.

Thanks again for your fast reply! It is hard to take your advice and install the files manually. It means to have less comfort while installing and even worse to do some error while installing files. However I took your advice and copy the GMP.pm file into the Perl/lib/ Math Directory. After I test the installation, I get an error again. I hop this is the key to the answer: `D:\Perl\Module>perl -le"use Math::GMP;" Can't locate loadable object for module Math::GMP in @INC (@INC contai +ns: D:\per l\lib D:\perl\site D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib .) at -e line 1 Compilation failed in require at -e line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.` [download] Interesting to mention: After copying the file "ppm Query Math" still doesn't find the module.	[reply] [d/l]

Did you try the ppd again? The real ppd and not the made up one. I took your advice and copy the GMP.pm file into the Perl/lib/ Math Directory I didn't say pick and choose files from the archive. Unzip the whole file	[reply]

Hi, you are right: I copied the PPD file AND the according tar.gz from the same site and now it works fine: D:\Perl\Module>perl -le"use Math::GMP;" Can't locate loadable object for module Math::GMP in @INC (@INC contai +ns: D:\per l\lib D:\perl\site D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib .) at -e line 1 Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
