Hello,

I just started to use perl (which mean I'm a neophite on this) and got 
    
it 
  
installed on OpenVMS 8.2-1 Itanium.
I am trying to install and get to work (http://www.stalker.com/CGPerl/) 
    
CGP::
  
CLI class, which uses Digest::MD5 module.

After some reading, I decided to get the files and  run the makefile 
    
from 
  
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Digest-MD5-2.36/. After fixing some small 
    
issues 
  
(changed a fatal error for a warning, and moving files around to get the 
    
path 
  
correctly) makefike ran, but I think I'm missing a step since now  I'm 
    
now 
  
stuck in an error where the perl processor cant locate the loadable 
    
object 
  
module for MD5. how do I build the object module? how do I install it?

runing the makefile issues the folowing:
$ set def  PERL_ROOT:[LIB.Digest]
    

It is not recommended to unpack a distribution into your perl_root.

  
$ perl makefilemd5.pl  !original name was makefile.pl
Testing alignment requirements for U32...
                                          Warning: prerequisite 
    
Digest::base 1.0
  
0 not found at /perl_root/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 343.
Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program.  As a last choice,
         I will look for the file to which the logical name POD2MAN
         points when MMK is invoked.

Writing Descrip.MMS for Digest::MD5
$ 
$! testing:
$ perl ListTotals.pl
    

The VMS specific instructions on how to build a CPAN module
are at:

http://perldoc.perl.org/perlmodinstall.html

You could also see them locally by running:

   perldoc perlmodinstall

I hope that helps.
