Hi,
I download some perl source code and the manual says:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
The first line went ok.
When I invoke the second line it says:
MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 2000 Borland
I think it is calling the wrong product/version of "make".
So I have a couple of questions:
1. Does ActivePerl 5.8.4.810.MSWin32-x86.MSI contain a "make" program ?
2. If not what do I need maybe cygwin ?
3. How do I call the right make product/version ?
( I am using windows xp )
Any help would be great

Get nmake from Microsoft
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...US/Nmake15.exe
Once you have the nmake15.exe, executing it will create 3 files on
your machine (nmake.exe, nmake.err, & a readme). Now you have a way to
install modules on you pc.
Example:
To install the Crypt::SSLeay mod, download the tar.gz
http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modul...SLeay-0.51.tar
..gz and extract the files to a temp directory. Then from the command
line, move into the temp directory and type the following commands:
perl Makefile.PL
c:\nmake\nmake.exe
c:\nmake\nmake.exe test
c:\nmake\nmake.exe install
c:\nmake\nmake.exe clean
This assumes that you nmake exe is in c:\nmake\, if not change it to
match your system config.
