Perl Module Manager 1

[spookie]

Hi,

Can someone suggest me a good Perl Module Manager for downloading perl modules and its dependencies.
I have tried one (Lucksot), but the dependencies are not getting downloaded automatically and downloading each and every dependency is horrible task.

TIA
p.s. The OS is windows XP.

Hi Paul,

I am getting error 'Can't locate CPAN.pm in @inc'.
This module is not installed on machine. What am i doing wrong?
Is it meant for UNIX based system?

Assuming you have ActiveState perl, you can use their PPM (perl package manager). They don't always have all the modules like CPAN, but they certainly have most of them.

I don't have activePerl .
I have downloaded a software called XAAMP which internally install PERL, PHP, APACHE and MySQL in a specific directory structure and configure the APACHE.
Any suggestions?

You can download CPAN from here.

I've used it on a number of Windows machines, but I've never had to install it seperately... but shouldn't be too hard.

Let us know if you run into problems installing it!
