I do the command "cpan install SDL", and it tells me that SDL is already installed. I then fire up a Perl file that uses SDL, but the prompt still states that SDL files are missing. Like, copy/paste some error messages :)	[reply]

(I think '-fi' is the right way to 'force install' ... not entirely sure as I don't often use the cpan command.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

force doesn't care if its installed already -- it might care about the prerequisites though :)	[reply]

I don't know how to copy the whole command prompt text, however here is the first line of the error: Can't locate object method "config" via package "Alien::SDL" in directory C:\strawberry\blah blah blah	[reply]

I don't know how to copy the whole command prompt text... Use your mouse or redirect to a file, see Behind the GUI lives the Shell and/or Windows Command Line Interpreter\|Shell\|DOS Prompt\|Batch Files\|Scripting ( site:http://commandwindows.com paste ) Also, cpan has an option to write install logs so you just copy/paste the log file cpanp, which I use, calls this option install_logs, and FWIW/IDKIIM, i also have verbose 999	[reply]

Can't locate object method "config" via package "Alien::SDL" in directory C:\strawberry I didn't strike that one. During the 'perl build.pl' step of the Alien::SDL installation, I was presented with 3 options regarding which SDL package to use. Did that happen for you ? Which option did you take ? (I took the first.) To copy'n'paste to/from a cmd.exe shell, click on the little cmd icon that's top left of the cmd.exe window. Then select "Properties", then tick "Quick Edit". Then you'll be able to select, copy , and paste using the mouse in the usual way. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

I also chose the first option Got it now: `Can't locate object method "config" via package "Alien::SDL" at C:/str +awberry/Dw inperl/perl/site/lib/SDL/Internal/Loader.pm line 34. Compilation failed in require at SDL.pm line 42. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at SDL.pm line 42. Compilation failed in require at sdl.pl line 6.
