install modules in winXP

[Shiping Wang]

Hello,

When I try to install modules from CPAN to my Window XP followed by
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install

Most time installation is OK, but sometime I get following message after
"nmake":

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

Does it mean this module only use for *nix. How can I pass the problem to
continue installation process?

Thanks,

Shiping

Install the activestate version of perl 5.8 and then use there ppm
utitily. It will do all the work for you.

'cl' is the C language compiler which means that part(s) of the module
are written in C and need to be compiled. You either have the 'cl'
compiler and it is not in the current path or you don't have it.
Perhaps following Paul's advice will help (I don't know as I don't use
Windows.)

Hi Paul, Thanks for your info. Normally I do install a module from ppm. If
the module I can't find, I go to: perl -MCPAN -e CPAN::shell -> install
xxxxx. Sometime I get problem list in below. I tried to add CPAN site to
ppm repository then do installation without success - rep add CPAN
[url]http://search.cpan.org[/url]. So what is right way to do it?

Thanks,

Shiping

cl is the name of the Visual C++ compiler. If you don't have that, you
are out of luck, unfortunately.
