in thread [Solved] Help : I did a beginner stupid CPAN thingy thing

I'm not on a Microsoft Windows system right now, using the command I supplied it installs ok on Linux (after lot of prerequisites) with Perl 5.12. Perhaps you're facing some platform specific issue, if you specify what is failing someone may be able to help.

Update: As follows is the tail end of the installation, note some test warnings:

    Very good point. I will report my test failures, especially as this release was started with the aim of "being installable on Windows".

      Which version of Strawberry Perl are you running (perl -v)? Again, someone here may be able to provide further advice if you post the failures (remember readmore/code tags). Cheers.

        >perl -v This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5.12.3) built for MSWin32-x +86-multi-thread
