I had the same problem. Attached below is the email that really helped me. The other suggestion came from david coppit and was the REAL answer. Go to CPAN and get the older version (2.2 or 2.5 I can't remember right now, too busy wrapping gifts). I hope this helps. It's what got me through the exact same problem. -jbg James B.

Jim, My suggestion would be to learn to install Perl packages by hand in the NT environment. Are you familiar with nmake or dmake? These are the Unix "make" counterparts for Windows machines. You can grab a copy of nmake from MS's ftp site <ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/nmake15.exe>. I put the file into my c:\perl\bin directory so that it's in the path. Then you need to be sure to set the make line in your config.pm file (c:\perl\lib) to the following: make='nmake' To install the package, jump onto CPAN, find the version you want, download it to your machine, unzip it with WinZIP or other utility to preserve directory structure then read the install directions substituting nmake for every instance of make. I've had no problem with this setup unless I want to install a module that uses Perl XS extensions in which case you'll need a C compiler. Hope that helps, Bill
