Khurrum has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to install SOAP::WSDL using CSPAN from Cygwin and getting the following error:

    You do seem to be having a few issues with regard to installation.

    My advice (in your specific case) would be to put aside the cygwin shell completely w.r.t Perl, and to stick with ActivePerl 5.8.8.

    If you run ActivePerl's perl from within cygwin, you can get a few issues with filenames containing spaces. If you prefer cygwin, you should use the Perl port that is installable via the cygwin installer (not ActivePerl).

    It's pretty painless to uninstall+reinstall ActivePerl so go ahead and do so. When it's installed, you can run ppm from the cmd.exe shell; that'll give you a GUI for finding/installing PPD modules from the ActiveState Perl repository. SOAP-WSDL-1.20 is the latest available version in that repository, and I can verify that it works fine.

      I will try doing that but the only reason why i am using cygwin is because it provides the "Make" utility. I cant seem to find the binary files for GNU make, which is why i cant run the make command from cmd.exe. The reason why i need the utitliy because the perl packages require the execution of makefiles provided. I am not sure if it would be required if i use PPM.

      Would you be able to clarify that while i uninstall and install Active Perl again.

      The other issue is that PPM has really old version of the packages. Like i just checked and it has SOAP::Lite 0.55 whereas now 0.70 is even available and same is the thing with SOAP::WSDL. Is there any way i can another repository?

        You don't need make, or any other tools. If you use ActivePerl, it installs binary packages, much like a linux distribution.

        ppm rep add trouchelle.com http://trouchelle.com/ppm/

        That will add the trouchelle.com repository, which has SOAP-Lite 0.69 and SOAP::WSDL 1.26.
