JAPH. (That's right -- I'm not Really Inexperienced any more.)

I'm not just here, I'm here [perlmonks.org], and here [javajunkies.org] too, I ramble randomly in my philosophical blog [blogspot.com] and my other blog [blogspot.com]. Soon I'll come in a convenient six-pack.

Got Cocky, Acted Stupid

[ #5665 ]
...but then again, isn't that always the way?

"I learned my installation lesson! All I need is nmake and the same patient approach I used in RedHat, and I can install modules into my ActiveState perl build!"

Ha. Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, right.

I've never managed to properly install any module in Windows yet; either it's just a .pm module and I hand-craft an installation or else the PPM can handle it. I have just realized this.

One prompt open with the PPM, one open with the modules directory so I can attempt nmake for things that PPM barfs on. Crapola.

  • If this is for work, get your boss to get you a copy of Visual C++. A properly configured version of that and a few GNU tools (gzip/gunzip binaries, tar binary, etc.) and you don't need PPM anymore -- just our friendly CPAN shell.
