I have been trying to write a short Perl script on a PC (ActivePerl) that would replace duplicate copies of huge video files with Shortcuts to the corresponding original video files. To do this, I need and acquired the Win32::Shortcut module from CPAN.
The Shortcut's README file claims "You can always find the latest version of this package online at: http://www.divinf.it/dada/perl/shortcut But that dada directory does not appear to exist. In Win32-Shortcut-0.07\docs\intro.html Installation Instructions 1. Run the INSTALL.BAT program. 2. Run the TEST.PL script to see if everything works Whereas, the only two files in the eg directory are: ln32.bat and sample.pl. Anyway, somewhere I found build instructions involving make. Shortcut does come with a Makefile and a Makefile.pl. I understand Makefile.pl is used with ExtUtils:MakeMaker to generate the Makefile. I'm familiar with make in the Unix world (years ago), but can't seem to acquire any form of make program for the PC world. I do have Cygwin installed (though not the entire package), but no version of make.exe or gmake.exe is found there. Must I reinstall the WHOLE Cygwin package? to get make.exe? Also am aware of minGW and MSYS and tried to install them for their (supposed) version of make, but keep running into obstacles. I know, I should ask the Perl::Win32::users list (or similar). -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-- Wayne A.
