Installing Archive-ZIp o Windows XP?

[George R. Gonzalez]

Having a little trouble installing Archive-Zip on Windows XP.

I'm using Borland make with the '-N' option which supposedly makes it
more nmake-like:

I get errors like:

C:\Backups\Archive-Zip-1.05>make -N install

C:\Backups\Archive-Zip-1.05>goto endofperl
syntax error at -e line 4, near ") print"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
*** Make failed: command was: make -N install
C:\Backups\Archive-Zip-1.05>


..... which makes no sense to me at all, any hints appreciated.

Probably best to use nmake itself, which is available from:
[url]ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe[/url]

Just download and run the executable to install nmake. (Simplest to install
it into one of the directories in your path.)

If you're using ActiveState perl then you'll already have Archive::Zip
(perhaps not version 1.05). The same might also apply to Indigo perl.
