Re: Problems installing CPAN Win32::Clipboard for Strawberry Perl under Windows Vista

I've used it a fair bit under Unix/Linux in the past with too much trouble - but now I'm working on a Windows Server 2012 - and I'm in trouble. I've installed Strawberry Perl 5.24 - and that works. I'm now trying to get some CPAN modules - and that's not working. I'm getting exactly the same failure messages listed in the original post to this thread. But using IE I can access the URLs that are failing under cpan install. I've also tried cpanp - with no luck. I have tried also on my laptop which has the same perl install - and get the same failures. Any suggestions? Ron.

Are you sure you aren't behind a proxy? When you download a tarball manually from CPAN, does it build successfully? ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-\|\|-\|5+lengthSq)`"S\|oS2"`map{chr \|+ord }map{substrSq`S_+\|`\|}3E\|-\|`7**2-3:)=~y+S\|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a, [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Yes - there is a proxy and I have asked several people for help to get around the problem ... without any success. Since I do seem to be able to get at the CPAN repository using a chrome browser (I can get http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz) - can someone explain how to get what I need using the browser? (I need Mail:Sendmail.) Ron.	[reply]

find your module, goto http://search.cpan.org/ put Mail::Sendmail into first box, select Modules from "in" dropdown, press search click on module you want, then look for "Download:" link on right.	[reply]
