I am having trouble installing Net::SFTP. I could not get the module on PPM, so tried a CPAN'd install. However it dies before completing the install. So far, no success, due to the high number of dependencies.
After going through other people's post on the same topic, I tried to individually install the modules mentioned below and in the exact order (using PPM & CPAN).
Test::More
Math::GMP
String::CRC32
Net::SSH::Perl
Class::Loader
Convert::ASCII::Armour
Crypt::CBC
Crypt::Primes
Crypt::Blowfish
Tie::EncryptedHash
Sort::Versions
Data::Buffer
Digest::BubbleBabble
Crypt::RSA
Crypt::DES
Crypt::DSA
Math::Pari
Crypt::Random
Crypt::DH
Crypt::DES_EDE3
Convert::ASN1
Convert::PEM
Net::SSH::Perl
(both SSH2 and SSH1, 3DES)
Net::SFTP

Since, Net::SSH::Perl is prequisite to Net::SFTP, I installed it using PPM. But again the dependencies are not installed correctly so, it does not work :-(
I have trouble installing Crypt::Primes, Crypt::RSA, Math::Pari, Crypt::Random and Net::SFTP.
While installing Math::Pari on CPAN, I get following error -

Did not find GP/PARI build directory around.
Do you want to me to fetch GP/PARI automatically?

And, then it asks me for some patches...which I am unable to understand. What am I suppose to write here?
