Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Off topic Perlesque question
Ivan,
The best place to ask this question is on a Perl list of course, but I
understand
your quandary.
Why not do what many folks on this list do: open a hotmail account
specifically
for your perl list subscriptions? Then you don't fill up your mailbox.
It would also help to know which modules you are looking for. Some are
available
from sources other than ActiveState.
Also, go to the General Support forum at www.activestate.com and search the
archives, you may find what you need. You can also ( I think this is right
) locate
archives for other Perl lists at lists.perl.com.

I know this is off topic but if I can get grab you perl guru's ear for second I'd greatly appreciate it. First I'd like to ask for a better place to post these types of questions. A perl list would be ideal but my boss has explicitly said I can join no more lists - my mail box is getting too big :(.
os (I know here's the fundamental problem) : Win2K
perl: ActiveState 5.6.1.630
Microsoft C++ Visual Studio 6.0
Ok now to the problem. I am having trouble using cpan to install certain
modules/Bundles.
I have been able to use ppm to install most of the modules I need but there
are still 7-10 that I believe need to be done through the cpan interface.
The problem I am having with cpan is when it's ready to compile the code it
never works because of make problems.
I have tried to download nmake instead to see if that would work but to no avail. I am making the correct changes in the config.pm file where it says make='blah blah' but the command is always bombing out and thus if no make test it will not continue the real make. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? What else can I do?
I believe that the problem is in the syntax that cpan is using to compile things is not compatible with the windows version of make. The readme I used suggested to download nmake and use that but again the syntax seems different.
In the cpan error I see it doing: make -f blah blah but the windows make help command shows all arguments should be like '/A' and I havent seen an argument for force. Does anyone know of a make out there for windows that behaves as unix in terms of syntax?
My ultimate goal is to get slashcode to run on this machine for a web site but have to do it on a windows machine. I am terribly lost and don't know what to do next or where to look. Any advice would help thanks. Sorry for being so lengthy and off topic I don't know where I can post this and still be able to get a reply. Wish I could join an additional list.
Is there any file I can edit so that every time cpan calls for 'make -f' I can substitute it with a syntax my nmake command will accept? Thank you very much. Ivan
