1. unzip the downloaded module tar file
2. on command prompt make sure you have done HTTP proxy,user passwd setting
(if u are using a proxy),
e.g.
set HTTP_proxy=http://xyz.abc.com:8080
HTTP_proxy_user=username
HTTP_proxy_pass=password
3. Then type ppm, (can do it from any location, not reqd to go to the module
dir)
On ppm prompt first search for the module as :
ppm> search SerialPort
4. If the search is successful you'll see the module in the search output,
then install it with the install command that you mentioned. (use the exact
name as you see in the search output)
Alternatively, if you have a c compiler on your machine, you can go to the
module directory, and use the following commands to install most of the
modules from CPAN,
C:\CPAN-Modules\moduledir\>Perl Makefile.PL
C:\CPAN-Modules\moduledir\>nmake
C:\CPAN-Modules\moduledir\>nmake test
C:\CPAN-Modules\moduledir\>nmake install
Hope this helps,
