in reply to Trouble installing cpan WWW::Mechanize one strawberry perl / vista

One would presume Perl can't locate HTTP/Server/Simple/CGI.pm because you don't have it installed. Install it. That said, I remember there being a problem install HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI. It's only used for testing, so it's easier to just ignore that error.

The next one down gets a 500 instead of 404 because it's connecting to :62920 but it said the server started a server on :62911. This sounds like a problem with test and not with the module.

I wouldn't worry about those failures. Force the module's installation by running cpan and entering force install WWW::Mechanize.

    Thank you very much though I still seem to be having problems.
    testmodules is just the statement use WWW::Mechanize;

    C:\perl>perl testmodules.pl Can't locate WWW/Mechanize.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/strawberry/perl/lib C:/ strawberry/perl/site/lib C:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib .) at testmodules.pl line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at testmodules.pl line 2.

      It's not installed, or you installed it to the "wrong" spot. What makes you think it's installed?

        It isn't. I was just trying to give more information.
