in reply to ActiveState Perl - manual module download

There's lot of documentation for this in the internet. But i will mention in brief.

STEP 1: Download Nmake from http://johnbokma.com/perl/make-for-windows.html
STEP 2: Install the executable and you will get two files - NMAKE.ERR & NMAKE.EXE
STEP 3: Copy both the files to the /bin directory of your perl installed location. In my case, its C:\Perl\bin
STEP 4: Download the perl module from CPAN
STEP 5: Extract the module in some folder, preferably in C:\temp folder
STEP 6: Open command prompt and browse to the temp folder and into the extracted module folder.
STEP 7: Run perl Makefile.PL, nmake, nmake test and nmake install

This should install the module

      The cpan that comes with AS 5.10.1 will automatically download dmake and mingw if you don't have it.
