Hey Eric,

My MUA believes you used QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1
to write the following on Sunday, May 19, 2002 at 9:09:31 PM.

EB> To install CPAN modules on a W32 PC, you need to get a copy of
EB> nmake <ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe>.

EB> Then, all you have to do is:

EB> perl Makefile.pl
EB> nmake
EB> nmake test
EB> nmake install

EB> and you should be OK.

thanks!  That did most of it...  Am I correct in assuming the html
documentation in the ActiveState distro is not updated by the above?

Is there a document that describes what the above is doing?  I did get
this output which is somewhat informative.

<nmake commands + output>
>nmake

cp PalmDoc.pm blib\lib\Pod\PalmDoc.pm

        <TimQ>This one seems fairly straight forward, copy a
        file for use later.</TimQ>

>nmake test

        D:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -Iblib\arch -Iblib\lib -ID:\Perl\lib -ID:\Perl\lib test.pl
1..1
ok 1

        <TimQ>Testing to see of the install line will run?</TimQ>

>nmake install

Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\Pod\PalmDoc.pm
Writing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Pod\PalmDoc\.packlist
Appending installation info to D:\Perl\lib/perllocal.pod

       <TimQ>Guess this is where I have the questions.
       First line probabily copied from the location that was the
       results of running 'nmake'.  Why were the second and third
       lines done?  I did see *what* they did, but why?</TimQ>

</nmake commands + output>
