    In unix, no message means no error. Can you now use the module? If so, nothing's wrong.

    Anytime I've installed modules on a Win32 system (not using PPM), I've done the following:

    perl -MCPAN -e"install Blah::Blah"
    or open a shell session via:
    perl -MCPAN -eshell

    Installing via CPAN on a Win32 system works great if you're using Strawberry Perl. You can get a copy from http://vanillaperl.com/. You can also read about it at the win32.perl.org wiki.
