To install the CPAN module you'd have to do the following Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you unpacked the download. Enter: perl makefile.pl
This will prepare the module for compiling. You will then need a C compiler such as nmake (which comes with visual studio) and do nmake nmake test nmake install If you're still having problems then please ask. Thanks Nigel >>> Mike Garner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/10/02 12:04am >>> I've got a script that uses Win32::AdminMisc from www.roth.net and when I originally installed the module on Win2K/ActiveState with ppm it worked fine. I need to reinstall the module and www.roth.net appears to be down. When I use ppm to perform the install the install fails with this error: Error installing package 'win32-adminmisc.ppd': Error reading http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/x86/ Win32/AdminMisc_5006.tar.gz. I can't get www.roth.net to reply to a ping...its like it is completely gone! So I went to CPAN and found the module here: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Win32_AdminMisc but I don't understand how to install it without ppm. Where should I put the files? I've tried putting the unzipped files all over perl/lib and perl/site/lib but I keep getting an error that it can't locate a loadable object for Win32::AdminMisc (which is progress, it used to say that it couldn't find the module). It looks like it sees the module but part of it is missing. Does anyone have a ppm version of this module that installs with www.roth.net or can offer advice about how to install the CPAN version? I'm running ActiveState Perl (newest version) on Win2K installed to c:\perl and the only modification from default install I've made is to use ppm to install win32::ole Thanks ~Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ITM Business Solutions Unit 4 Nine Trees Trading Estate Morthen Road Rotherham S66 9JG Reception Tel: 01709 703288 Fax: 01709 701549 Help Desk Tel:01709 530424 Fax: 01709 702159 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
