Perl Module Manual Install Windows XP


What is the process to manually installing Perl modules on Windows XP? I've seen UNIX commands like

perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

but I can't find a comparable 'make' command in Windows commandline. I cannot use CPAN to install the modules, as firewall settings prevent the network accesses needed. Any help is greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • Strawberry Perl includes dmake which, to my knowledge, is essentially the same as make except it's built for a Windows environment. There are also other alternatives such as GNU make.
