[perl-win32-gui] Install from Zip file, not just PPM?

[Andy Cragg]

Hello,

A bit of a newbie, I'm learning fast-ish but I can't find out how to install
Perl modules from a zip file (or .gz file) gleaned from various sites.

I looked at the ActiveState man page for MakeMaker, I tried:
DOS prompt > perl Makefile.PL -verbose (in a directory with the unzipped
files in)

and it did something, but gave me the usage (which, to my the Unix part of
my brain suggests that  it did nothing?), then:

DOS prompt > make test

but there's no "make" anywhere (in c:\Perl\... at least).

Help!

Thanks,

Andy
