Hello,
I have tried to install this module from CPAN following these steps:
Unziped the module into a directory.
From that directory I typed : 'perl makefile.pl'
It returns:
C:\Perl\libnet\date\Date-Calc-4.3>perl makefile.pl
Usage: xsubpp [-v] [-C++] [-except] [-prototypes] [-noversioncheck] [-nolinenumb
ers] [-s pattern] [-typemap typemap]... file.xs
Writing Makefile for Date::Calc
Then I typed : 'nmake'
It returns:
C:\Perl\libnet\date\Date-Calc-4.3>nmake install
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50

C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -IC:\Perl\lib -IC:\Perl\lib C:\Perl\lib\ExtUtils/xs
ubpp -typemap C:\Perl\lib\ExtUtils\typemap -typemap typemap Calc.xs >xstmp.c &&
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -IC:\Perl\lib -IC:\Perl\lib -MExtUtils::Command -e mv xstm
p.c Calc.c
Usage: xsubpp [-v] [-C++] [-except] [-prototypes] [-noversioncheck] [-nolinenumb
ers] [-s pattern] [-typemap typemap]... file.xs
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\PERL\BIN\PERL.EXE' : return code '0xff'
Stop.
Seems to me that I need to use 'xsubpp'?? I have never needed to use this before.
From my past experience I just type 'perl makefile.pl' and after a few questions all works but not for this module.
What am I doing wrong??
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Jonathan
