Can't install CPAN modulesby hsfrey (Beadle) |
on Oct 12, 2011 at 23:45 UTC ( [id://931109]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
hsfrey has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Is there a simple document somewhere that explains how to download and install modules from CPAN onto Windows systems?
Every method I try fails. The perlmodinstall doc had me download nmake.exe, which blows up with a syntax error when I try to use it ("missing a bracket", it says.) I have the pm I want on the computer, but, wherever I put it (in @INC) my programs can't find it. Is there any reason the process just to download a subroutine has to be so baroque? Elsewhere, entire massive programs are downloaded with a single click. The particular module I'm looking for is MATH::Random.
