Wise monks, I beseech thee to lifteth the basket of ignorance from my head and let the light of knowledge shine.
I'm not a perl guy, I'm just trying to build some existing code. System is WinXP Pro running whichever version of Cygwin was current as of yesterday. Cygwin has perl and gcc installed, as well as anything else I should need to build. For those not in the know, cygwin brings the joys of Unix to the wasteland of Windows.
One of my files starts with "use XML::Parse". Okey dokey, I got that from CPAN. It wants Expat. Didnt' see a package on CPAN, but I did find Expat.pm. So I grabbed it. Running, I get "Can't locate loadable object for module XML::Parser::Expat". I'm assuming I need a binary version of Expat. So I've got it, and was ready to configure it when I thought "hmmm, where in blazes should I install it to?" I'm also wondering what I should build. A dll of some sort?
So. Where do I install it to. Or am I completely on the wrong track here, and need to do something different?
Thanks.
