Just that, there are no paths shown in the directory tree. When unpacked, I see this:

There is no chance Make is going to work. I also have CPAN and Net::PCAP source packages which do show a directory structure and unpack into the correct directories.

What do you mean by "no paths"? I downloaded Test-Harness-3.21.tar.gz directly from CPAN and looked at the contents. Every file is contained in the Test-Harness-3.21 directory or a subdirectory thereof (bin, examples, inc, lib, t, xt), so every file in the tar listing is preceded by a path. Have you tried manually installing the module with: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (or does that not work on your Windows system?) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
