Actually 2 questions! First, I am having some trouble installing the Term::Readkey module on my Windows 2000 machine. When I run the makefile.pl, I get the message:
Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.
(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find "C:\perl\5.00502\lib\MSWin32-x86\CORE\perl.h")
I'm not surprised that it can't find perl.h there, because it is actually located at:
C:\ent\appl\prod\perl\5.00502\lib\MSWin32-x86\CORE\perl.h
Is there a way to tell MakeMaker where to look?

Second, once I download a module, is there a way to make a script that uses the module portable to a machine that doesn't have the module installed? Can I just copy the module files with the script? Thanks for your help
