Install Xampp mod_perl addon to Xampp

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

Xampp (Latest, 172) is all nice and monkitory and offers `cpan` Having set http_proxy=http://whatever:8080 off it goes to install Apache::Registry. I assume this is what I have to do. All runs OK and is busy chattin to me, when suddenly it croaks. Make is trying to run `cl` " Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94.

When posting please read Writeup Formatting Tips, it may be worth while reading How do I post a question effectively? also. Did you look at the XAMPP documentation? Apparently you need to install "XAMPP Add-Ons" if your version of XAMPP is earlier than 1.7.2, as of this version mod_perl and 'a selection of important Perl Modules' are included as standard. Update: fixed link to How do I post a question effectively?, thanks Corion. Martin	[reply]

cl works OK for me on Windows XP - but that is probably because I have Microsoft Visual C/C++ installed. If you do then make sure you run vsvars32.bat in the environment, if not, then use a perl that does not require it. I'm a little confused. Cygwin has perl already bundled, does it not? Should you not be trying to install under Cygwin - that should be using gcc rather than the Microsoft compiler. Try this: `perl -MConfig -e 'print "$Config{cc}\n"'` [download] On my version of Cygwin it gives gcc. By the way, please use <code> ... </code> tags, and <br> when posting.	[reply] [d/l]

Ummm - Cygwin. Yes it has perl in it but I took it all out and plumped for Xampp. I guess I am just trying to take the easy way out in getting RT up in XP. In Cywin I get all the way to installing RT via `configure`, but fails on a couple of Cpan module versions being > config list. My frigging with that got no where. So Xampp is just another way to gat at RT.	[reply]
