INSTALLATION (on Unix)
Installation is as per the standard module installation approach:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
INSTALLATION (on Windows: ActiveState Perl, or IndigoPerl, and NMAKE)
Another way to install as a traditional Perl module, using
"perl Makefile.PL" and Microsoft's NMAKE, included with
MS DevStudio. Here's what one user has to say on this subject:
nmake works nicely, and the installation process looks the same
as on other platforms.
My understanding is that nmake.exe is available for free from
Redmond. In fact I downloaded it just a few minutes ago,
following the suggestion found on the IndigoPerl home page:
Installing CPAN modules requires that you have Microsoft
DevStudio or nmake.exe installed. If you are installing
modules that contain xs files, then you need DevStudio,
otherwise you only need nmake.exe. You can download
nmake from [the url below].
Run the self-extracting exe and copy nmake.exe to the perl\bin
directory.
[the URL is:
]
Nmake15.exe expands to nmake.exe (64K) and Nmake.Err (5k) - a text
file. I copied both to C:\perl\bin, then renamed nmake.exe to
make.exe and now I can pretend to be on Unix:
H:\devperl\some-module>perl Makefile.PL
Writing Makefile for some-module
H:\devperl\some-module>make all test
H:\devperl\some-module>make install
