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. The majority of the links given below, however,
are to pre-compiled versions of the modules, which can be installed
on Windows simply by issuing the following command once you have
downloaded the PPD file (which may be packaged within a ZIP file):
> ppm install <filename.ppd>
Download Locations
Running Bugzilla on Windows requires the use of ActiveState
Perl 5.8.1 or higher. Some modules already exist in the core
distribution of ActiveState Perl so no PPM link is given.
(This is noted where it occurs.)
