Hi,
My name is Michael, and I am trying to get into Perl. While I have
Ubuntu Linux installed on my computer, my default environment is
Windows 7, and ideally I would like to do everything on this OS. I
would also ideally prefer to use a single IDE than a text editor +
compiler. Apparently, Padre is typically the IDE that everyone uses.
So I started here:
http://learn.perl.org/installing/windows.html
However, instead of JUST installing Padre, I installed DWIM Perl,
which includes Padre, Strawberry Perl, and many other goodies.
http://padre.perlide.org/download.html
So after downloading and installing it, what's the next step? Is a
reboot of my computer necessary (especially since it doesn't
explicitly tell me to do so)? Do I use the command "cpan
App::cpanminus" as per the first link above? Do I go to the following
page and run the following script in the DOS window?
http://padre.perlide.org/howto.html
C:\Dwimperl\perl\bin\perl.exe -MCPAN -e "CPAN->upgrade('/^Padre/')"
The problem is that when I run that script, many of those tests fail.
The "cpan App::cpanminus" command does not work either, as I receive
the following error:
/Can't locate App/Cpan.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/msys /usr//
/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/msys
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/
/.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /c/Dwimperl/perl/bin/cpan line 5./
/BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /c/Dwimperl/perl/bin/cpan line 5./
However, I'm not sure if these extra commands in the DOS window are
necessary, so let's just go right to Padre.
*In Padre, I have typed the simple script
**
print "Hello world\n";
and yet when I choose Run > Run Script, nothing happens. No new
window, no indication that it's compiled or failed...nothing. In
addition, when I choose Tools > Module Tools > Open CPAN Config File,
I get the error "Failed to find your CPAN configuration".
I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out how to make this work. Any
help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Michael*
