nmake On Microsoft Platforms
by gerard on Thu Jul 6 00:00:01 PDT 2000

ActivePerl Users - Do you want to install a Perl module that is not available via PPM? You need nmake - you can download it for free (really!) from Microsoft: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/nmake15.exe. Now you can manually install Perl modules. First, unpack the .tar.gz distribution (use WinZip or something similar), and change into the distribution directory. Open a DOS window and issue the classic sequence of commands for building and installing a module:


   perl Makefile.PL

   nmake

   nmake test

   nmake install
