Hello there,

Following some suggestions regarding web scraping, it looks like I'll have to use Win32::IE::Mechanize. However, I'm new to perl and seem to have some trouble installing the module.

I downloaded it, and extracted it into C:/perl/lib/Win32-IE-Mechanize-0.009

I downloaded nmake, then I ran:
1. perl Makefile.PM
2. nmake
3. nmake test
4. nmake install

The makefile seems to go smoothly, then nmake gives this: Math::BigInt: couldn't load specified math lib(s), fallback to Math::BigInt::FastCalc at C:/Perl/lib/Win32API/File.pm line 20, followed by going through some .pm files

nmake test gives some failed tests, and then nmake install yields this: Math::BigInt: couldn't load specified math lib(s), fallback to Math::BigInt::FastCalc at C:/Perl/lib/Win32API/File.pm line 20 Appending installation info to C:\Perl\lib/perllocal.pod

am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks
