I am getting : Can't locate Win32/OLE.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Win32::OLE module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.20.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.20.2 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.20.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.20.2 .) Its not able to file Win32::OLE. but not able to install Win32::OLE on Cygwin.	[reply]

Ah! this error you will get when you run your perl code which uses Win32::OLE module. Ok, now tell me how you are trying to install Win32::Module by ppm command? *All is well. I learn by answering your questions...*	[reply] [d/l]

Re: How to make Win32::OLE work on Cygwin (cpan -i -T Win32::OLE) by Anonymous Monk on Apr 30, 2015 at 10:44 UTC
`cpan Win32::OLE` ought to install the module If that doesn't then skip tests and install it `cpan -f -i -T Win32::OLE` If that doesn't then the most drastic option is force install it while skip test `cpan --i -T Win32::OLE`	[reply]

Please, wrap the log in `<code>...</code>` tags to make it readable. Running `look Win32::OLE` [download] in the CPAN shell and replacing `stricmp` with `strcasecmp` in OLE.xs, then running `make Win32::OLE test Win32::OLE install Win32::OLE` [download] back in the CPAN shell solved the problem for me. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l] [select]
