<h2>Diary of a frustrated !(AS|PPM) Perl install on Win2k</h2>
<ol>
<li>Retrieve and install Siemens' precompiled [http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GR/GRAHAMC/|5.00503 binary] for win32.
<li>Edit <tt><i>d</i>:\perl\5.00503\lib\MSWin32-x86\Config.pm</tt> to reflect installed drive letter if not default "C" <font
size="-1"><i>(thanks to [OeufMayo], [Yohimbe])</i></font>
<li>Retrieve and install [http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/NI-S/|pmake].
<ul>
<li><tt>perl Makefile.PL</tt>
<li><tt>perl -I. pmake</tt>
<li><tt>perl -Mblib pmake test</tt>
<li><tt>perl -Mblib pmake install</tt>
</ul>
<li>Copy <tt>Make.pm</tt> to <tt><i>d:</i>\perl\site\500503\lib\</tt>
<li>Install pure-Perl [cpan://|CPAN] modules.
<ul>
<li><tt>perl Makefile.PL</tt>
<li><tt>pmake.bat</tt>
<li><tt>pmake.bat test</tt>
<li><tt>pmake.bat install</tt>
</ul>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Tie::IxHash - <font size="-1"><i>succeed</i></font>
<li>Net::Telnet - <font size="-1"><i>succeed</i></font>
<li>Term::ReadKey - <font size="-1"><i>fail</i></font>
<li>Net::Telnet::Cisco - <font size="-1"><i>fail</i></font>
</ul>
<li>Keep digging - shouldn't have to manually copy <tt>.pm</tt> files to <tt><i>d:</i>\perl\site\500503\lib\</tt> ?!
<li>Continue pondering free(beer|speech) compilers for modules containing C/C++.
<li>from [crazyinsomniac], but I've not got this far:
<ul>
<li>MM_Win32 <b><code>UNINSTALL= $(Perl)...</code></b> line doesn't appear to be valid perl syntaxt...
<li>The <b><code>\"\"</code></b> stuff and also multiple -e switches...
<li>Replace the <b><code>\"\"</code></b> with <b><code>qq()</code></b>...
<li>Make needs the \ at the end of the line...
</ul>
<li>Give up. Install [http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/|ActivePerl] instead.
<li>Try again later. Maybe. If I get bored and ambitious
