unable to run Build.pl

[eranshuman]

Hi,
I m very new to perl
I m running an API which have the Buil.pl
When Im compiling using perl Build.pl


I was getting error :

Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/li
b .) at Build.PL line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 5.

But searching net I got the Build.pm which is as follows:
package Module::Build;

# This module doesn't do much of anything itself, it inherits from the
# modules that do the real work.  The only real thing it has to do is
# figure out which OS-specific module to pull in.  Many of the
# OS-specific modules don't do anything either - most of the work is
# done in Module::Build::Base.
 
use strict;
use File::Spec ();

use Module::Build::Base;
 
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA);
@ISA = qw(Module::Build::Base);
$VERSION = '0.28';
$VERSION = eval $VERSION;
 
# Okay, this is the brute-force method of finding out what kind of

I got the above code save in the file name Build.pm, in the folder C:\Perl\Module
After running the above : perl Build.pm

I got the following error :

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/Module/Build.pm line 14.
Compilation failed in require at Build.PL line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 5.

I was tickling with the code I commented the line :use Module::Build::Base;

Again I got the error

Can't locate Module/Build/Platform/Windows.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at (eval 4) line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 4) line 2.
Compilation failed in require at Build.PL line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 5.

Please help me to able compile the Build.pm.

Thanks and regards

PS : Im attaching the file Build.pl (rename as Build.txt)which I m compiling

First, anytime you include code in a post to the forum, you should place \code] [/code] tags around it so the Moderators like myself do not have to clean up after you.

Second, I don't think you can just copy that module as you saw it like that. Try using ppm (which comes with Active State Perl, to install the Build module. You will be much more successful that way.

First Im sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I have run ppm as per you said
But it is giving the following error
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist ... failed 500 Can't connect to ppm4.activestate.com:80 (Bad hostname 'ppm4.activestate.com')

I try to find build module
But I m not able to find it
even there is link given in the PPM help :
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackag...x-builds-only/
But I was not able to get the where is the Build module.
Is there any way to find in the ppm to install a particular module?

Thanks and regards
PS : I m using windows xp and Perl v 5.8.8 (ActiveState)

[KevinADC]

can you intall any modules with ppm? Sometimes a firewall or other third party software prevents ppm from connecting to the internet. Turn off any firewall you might be running and try again.

[anjigorantla]

i think problem is with the module unavailable.

try once to install this module

ppm install Module::Build



and then u run the same.

[eranshuman]

Hi,
I have got the module from the below link

module build

I have install from it

Thanks and regards
