I'm on windows, and for the life of me can't find any instructions that are useful on how to install a module on XP (or NT?). I'm using Activestate.

I did however find some vague instructions to take the module (or any module) "Recursive.pm" and place it in the File > Copy folder in my Lib in my Perl directory. I also created a "File > Copy" directory where I'm executing the program. Either way, it appears to be working because I'm not getting the error about @INC (or something like that).

I posted this thread a couple hours ago. I just did another google search. My question here on perlmonks is now in the top 20 search results on google. Do a google on "dircopy perl" and you'll see this thread! Talk about recursive.

I'm completely baffled, and my search for help is recursive. That's not good! Any other ideas? Can you get this to work at all on your system? Can you post an example that works?

Thanks!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
