Manual Installation of Perl Modules
Instructions
If you need to install Perl modules manually, here's how it's done.
Download the module using the link given in the next section, and then
apply this magic incantation, as root:
bash# tar -xzvf <module>.tar.gz
bash# cd <module>
bash# perl Makefile.PL
bash# make
bash# make test
bash# make install
In order to compile source code under Windows you will need to obtain
a 'make' utility. The nmake utility provided with
Microsoft Visual C++ may be used. As an alternative, there is a
utility called dmake available from CPAN which is
written entirely in Perl.
As described in , however, most
packages already exist and are available from ActiveState or theory58S.
We highly recommend that you install them using the ppm GUI available with
ActiveState and to add the theory58S repository to your list of repositories.
Download Locations
Running Bugzilla on Windows requires the use of ActiveState
Perl 5.8.1 or higher. Many modules already exist in the core
distribution of ActiveState Perl. Additional modules can be downloaded
from if you use
Perl 5.8.x or from
if you use Perl 5.10.x.
