Thank you. [snip] > can someone help me install this module under windows In their endless search for money, Microsoft don't supply a C compiler, assembler, or linker with any version of Windows in the last twenty years or so. Also, because of several deliberate decisions to make people pay for as much as possible, it is difficult and awkward to get CPAN working on a Windows platform. Microsoft's 'nmake' is available for free, but some versions have been more compatible with standard modules than others, and in any case, as there is still no C compiler, on its own it is a solution only for pure Perl modules. Depending on what version of perl you have installed there may be tidier ways of installing modules on your machine. If you have ActivePerl then ppm is your answer, but there will still be no 'Expect' module available as it is very tied to the Unix architecture. You have reached a dead end I'm afraid, but remember that vanilla Net::SSH should work fine on your platform.
