Sorry for missing the point of your tutorial and thanks for your patience and reply.

Enum appeared to install ok as follows:

It installed itself here:

But installing Win32::Rase produced:

Is the difference between enum 1.014 and enum 1.016 significant?

I noticed that Win32::API was also not found.

I have Win32API::File, Win32API::Net and Win32API::Registry. I downloaded Win32::API from CPAN.

Does this mean I need a C compiler?

Sorry to be a pain.

Note: I found and moved nmake.err into the path.

• 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).
