RockyRoccoco has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I just installed Strawberry perl using standard install choices. I have attempted in the "perl (command line)" window to install several required modules.
I also have msys2 installed on this machine. I think there is some interference between msys2 and windows.
Here is the result of trying to install a package:
Install command:
Result:cpan install Gedcom
I need to keep msys2 in this machine. Any thoughts on how to get perl to use the correct tar, or the correct path form?Loading internal logger. Log::Log4perl recommended for better logging Reading '\c\Users\Owner\.cpan\Metadata' Database was generated on Tue, 23 Apr 2019 23:29:03 GMT Running install for module 'Gedcom' CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v6.02) CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.081) Checksum for \c\Users\Owner\.cpan\sources\authors\id\P\PJ\PJCJ\Gedcom- +1.20.tar.gz ok The system cannot find the path specified.
