VTBlogger has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi. I'm trying to do a manual install of MakeMaker, since my firewalls at work prevent my using cpan/ppm. I download and unpack the tar file as usual, then do the perl Makefile.PL thing, at which point it tells me that I'm missing my\bundles.pm. Since I have an empty 'my' directory from the unzipped tar file, I moved a copy of bundles.pm there. The run of Makefile.PL then complained that virtually every file was missing from my kit, though they were all in the unpacked file. HELP!

Bingo! I used WinZip, which didn't completely unpack it for some reason. Now I just have to figure out a "need JSON 2.5" bit and I should be good. Many thanks!

What version of Perl are you running. I believe "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" is a core modules. What do you get when you execute ...
perl -v
perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e1;

I needed 6.62 or up for another module; my perl install came with 6.50.
