Pardon me, if this has been already raised. I have experience in ActivePerl from Activestate. However, I have a Cygwin for Windows, where Perl 5.10 is installed. I am not familiar with CPAN. I did go through some stuff at the CPAN site. But, I really want to get started on some basic tasks that has to do with Perl on Cygwin.
1) How should I install new modules? (in ActivePerl, I do "ppm install DBI") 2) How do I know about the modules already installed? (in ActivePerl, I do, "ppm query") 3) What is this "install" or "make" or "test" that seems to be the norm in CPAN? When I tried to do "install DBI", it bombed on a fatal error saying the DLL cannot be installed or something like that. Is this how I install a new module? Please help.
