gth has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Monks,
I am using ActiveState Perl 5.61 build 631 on WindowsNT/Windows2000 for some time now. Sofar I am
using various modules provided thru PPM for my home-projects. However now I want to use a CPAN module which is not available thru ActiveState's PPM. The module is Net::FreeDB2. So I downloaded the tarbal from CPAN and extracted it to some tempdir. The readme says I should do: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install So I ran perl Makefile.pl. It complained about symbolic links which lines I removed and make it run OK. Now I want to execute 'make', however I do not know of any make and neither is my PC (full search). How can I use CPAN modules within ActivePerl on WIN32?? Thanks in advance and kind regards Gerard ter Haar
