cpanm tk and Finance::GeniusTrader

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

Dear Monks, I fetched and installed many modules comfortably using cpanm, now there are two modules: Tk and Finance::GeniusTrader that it can't fetch, what is the best thing to do? Can I download them manually and execute cpanm Tk, it already finds them and installs it? or is there a better thing? Thank you so much in advance.

Hi, don't rely on a cpan module, learn to do it manually. For Tk just download Tk latest tarball . Then: tar -zxvf Tk-804.030.tar.gz perl Makefile.PL make make install ( do install as root ) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

In which directory do i need to put it? It is in downloads and I used the tar command but it can't find the script perl Makefile.Pl, Do I need to move the .tar.gz to the directory with the makefile.pl and then rerun the tar commmand and the rest? or do I need to change the directory to the script location and just continue with all the commands?

Just did it sorry for the useless question, I make installed it and the perl -MTk -e 1 command does not give output, Are the dependencies installed too? Is this all I had to do:)? `# perl Makefile.PL # make # make test` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

As a trader, I sort of kind of want to hurl when I see names with 'Genius' in them. Buyer beware-:). For this, you'll need to use a full metal jacket: `cpan> install ECOCODE/Finance-GeniusTrader-0.00_50.tar.gz` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
