2. Since I plan to install MinGW on my own, should I do so before running cpan or are the two MinGWs different?

I have installed MinGW before trying to use cpan (I used it to compile perl), and cpan never tried to install MinGW for me. I mostly use cpanp.

3. The MinGW I install will have make; will cpan still want to install dmake?

If you're compiling your own perl for win32, or you're using ActivePerl, you will use nmake or dmake, never make

perl -V:make
You can override make choice at runtime using
perl Makefile.PL make=make perl Makefile.PL make=nmake perl Makefile.PL make=dmake
dmake is preferred.

4. Regarding the broken links provided by ppm, what is the proper links?

dmake is distributed on cpan, dmake/MinGW by ActiveState, both come with http://strawberryperl.com/

http://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake/ (http://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake-4.12-20090907-SHAY/, http://search.cpan.org/~shay/dmake-4.12-20090907-SHAY/ )

  • 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:

  • 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.
