New installation of activeperl - install modules??
New installation of activeperl - install modules??
(OP)
I am new to Perl, please be gentle.
I have installed ActivePerl on NT4 Workstation. I have some scripts that a colleague wrote - including references to Date::Calc (Steffen Beyer)
Trying to follow the installation instructions..
Perl Makefile.PL (writes the makefile OK)
nmake (gives me an error of: specified file is not recognised as internal or external program)
What am I doing wrong?
Are there extra paths that need to be defined?
Is there a different date package?
Pointers in any direction will be gratefully explored.

C:>PPM<return>
PPM interactive shell (1.1. .....etc...
PPM>install package_name<return> wait as PPM does it's tricks....
PPM>exit<return>

I am using Win 98 and I also have ActivePerl installed.
I've read in help file that I should type PPM in MS-DOS, but if I just type PPM, I'm getting bad command name...
it doesn't work, anyone familiar with this problem?

set path=%path%;c:\PERL\BIN
(assuming c is your perl installation drive)
PPM was simple to use and installed Date-Calc in seconds.
NB.
