I'll try to fetch these modules, compile them, and
repackage them as PPMs for everyone to use. PPMs are
much cleaner as they don't require that you install a
compiler and other stuff on the machine.
The NT HOWTO (at http://www.atlcon.net/opensrs/nt-howto.htm)
is due for a serious rewrite; it's only been updated for
the 2.2 codebase, so I need to get it up to speed for
2.41. Perhaps this weekend I can get a round tuit. :)

Eric Longman

Subject: Re[2]: Win32 Perl Modules

I actually installed it on a WinME box without a problem. It was

I don't know if earlier versions came with the CPAN module but the
latest version does. I used this, rather than the typical PPM method
recommended by AS. This is because there just aren't packages
(that I can find) for all of the modules you need via PPM. But they
will compile on a win32 platform.
Once you install the CPAN module, the following from the commandline
should work:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Your::Package (replace your module as needed after
each install).
As I recall, the 'make test' failed on a couple of them so the cpan
module didn't want to do the 'make install'. This is a cpan issue
which likely has a way around it (like forcing an install even if a
make test fails) but for now. because I don't know what that 'way' is,
the manual method works too. If this is the case for you, you'll need
to unpack the module and do something like:
perl Makefile.pl
make
make install
Which reminds me, you'll want to be sure and have the cygwin pack
which has a compiler, gzip, etc. which you'll need for these
operations. I have provided links to the various modules directly
from CPAN below, as well as the link to get your cygwin stuff:
Get and install this first if you don't have it:
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
And then the modules:
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-HCE_SHA
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-CBC
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Digest-SHA1
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Data-Dumper
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Date-Pcalc
Ummm, I think that was it. To sum up:
1. I unpacked the opensrs-sf package
2. Downloaded/installed cygwin (gcc, gzip, etc.)
2. Ran ./install.pl
3. Couple of the modules failed so I installed those manually
4. Moved the CGIs to a Web-accessbile directory
5 Finished.
Actually, between 3 and 4 I reran the installer to be sure that
everything worked. It does keep your current values so you should be
able to just hit "Enter" along the way so you can verify the modules
are dialed in.
