nmake--installing modules

[bagsmode]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to load modules that I don't already have.
I tried loading module Test, and I kept getting an error with the
nmake.exe that was being used (running on Win98 here). I found a
different version in my MS VC++ directories and replaced the path it was
using with the VC++ one. Now, I don't get the errors, however, it gets
to the point of writing the .packlist and just hangs, goes no further.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I have from the DOS window:

BTW, thanks to Martin Thurn for helping me out with this.
Instead of putting the install w/in the -e option, he suggested:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
CPAN> install <module>

This worked just fine.

Thanks again :)
