David, If your looking at compiling & installing modules from CPAN on WIN32. Here are the basic steps in accomplishing it.
# 'nmake' is needed. Its a free download from MS. # 'cl.exe' is needed. The free download of the .Net Framework includes this compiler. It may be less of a hassle if you have VS install on WIN32 though. www.devside.net has very good instructions on how to build Apache, MySql, and various other modules in the WIN32 environment. The compilation and installation process won't vary too much between various software products. The typical compilation and installation process on WIN32 for module source downloaded from CPAN is: 1. perl makefile.pl 2. nmake 3. nmake test 4. nmake install Be sure to review the 'readme' and/or 'install' file of every module because it may have specific instructions for building the module. I would recommend taking the time to learn how to utilize CPANPLUS or CPAN because these modules automate the build and installation process of CPAN modules. CPANPLUS is the newest of the 2 modules. -Craig >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf >Of Hugh S.
