Re: "Lag" of modules in ActiveState ?

Also, there's certainly no need to be patient even if you can't find it, assuming that you have access to CPAN. What I would probably do is download the package from CPAN and put it relative to the code you're playing around with.

For example, if you are using Win32::OLE, put the code in directory 'C:\CODEGOESHERE', and the OLE.pm and related files in 'C:\CODEGOESHERE\Win32'.

for(split(" ","tsuJ rehtonA lreP rekcaH")){print reverse . " "}print "\b.\n";

That won't work because the module has a compiled component. You'll get the following error message: `Can't locate loadable object for module Win32::OLE in @INC` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Huh. Is there any way to get around that? What process does the CPAN shell do when installing the module? `for(split(" ","tsuJ rehtonA lreP rekcaH")){print reverse . " "}print "\b.\n";`	[reply] [d/l]

The procedure to install most modules is `perl Makefile.PL make make test make install` [download] These or alternate instructions are usually present in the `README` file in the distribution. It's no exception here. Note that if a compiler is required (as is the case for this distribution), it needs to be compatible with the one used to build Perl. Since the OP is using an ActiveState perl distribution, he'll need to use a compiler compatible with the one ActiveState used, namely Visual Studio 6. Note that Visual Studio's make tool is called `nmake`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
