in thread A Guide to Installing Modules

Phew! I've installed a module from CPAN and used it to dialup a connection!

I was sure that Re: Installing Perl on a Windows PC was wrong. Now I'm not so sure. As soon as I get under the bonnet it's like a big black hole.

I did notice this though:

C:\Win32-RASE-1.01>nmake test Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved. C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "-Iblib\lib" "-Iblib\arch" test.pl 1..6 ok 1 not ok 2 ok 3 ok 4 ok 5 not ok 6
Is it safe to ignore?

Many thanks for your help
btw, I thought your black hole looked a bit white!

    The test come from test.pl in the root dir or t/test_name.t In this case they are from test.pl. Have a look at test.pl, read the tests, see what they are trying to test, decide if that matters to you. If it does fix the source.

    cheers
