Re^4: Need help installing wxWidgets 2.9.4

[HelenCr]

Khen1950fx: apologizing if this is a newbie question:
When I inquire for Module::Build (in CPANPLUS), I get:

CPAN Terminal> l Module::Build
Details for 'Module::Build'
Author               Leon Timmermans ([e-mail])
Installed File       D:\...\StrawberryPerl\perl\lib\Module\Build.pm
Package              Module-Build-0.4005.tar.gz
Version Installed    0.40
Version on CPAN      0.4005

So I have Module::Build installed.
But, like I mentioned above, when I go:

>perl Build.PL
Can't open perl script "Build.PL": No such file or directory

It can't find "Build.PL".
What to do?

Many TIA - Helen

Can't open perl script "Build.PL": No such file or directory

This means that Perl can't find a file named Build.PL within your current directory. Are you sure you're in the right place? If you do an ls/dir do you see Build.PL?

cpan> look Alien::wxWidgets

If in doubt the above command within cpan will download the module and drop you into a shell within the unpacked distribution. You can then do what you want (install notes in README.txt?). To exit this shell type exit.

Update: I see you're using cpanp rather than cpan. Use the z argument to achieve the same as above:

z MODULE ...        # extract module(s) and open command prompt in it

Update 2: fixed typo.

update 3: added link to README.txt
