installing modules

[king]

Suppose i want to install a perl module in windows.
1.so first down load the module
2.Extract the module to *\perl\lib folder.
3. In command prompt go to *\perl\lib\module name.
then
type perl makefile.pl
It will create a make file.
then $ make (Not working for me)
$ make test (Not working for me)
$ install (Not working for me)

Can any-body suggest how to install the module in windows XP.

Unless you specifically want to compile it yourself , you're probably
better off letting the perl package manager (ppm) do it for you

Type ppm at the command line and you will get this

PPM - Programmer's Package Manager version 3.2.

ActiveState is a division of Sophos.

Entering interactive shell. Using Term::ReadLine:erl as readline
library.

Type 'help' to get started.

ppm>

Then

search <modulename>

to search for a module

and

install <modulename>

to install a module

Hope this helps

How did you download the module to install in the first place? Did you get
it off a CD?
