Obviously, I can't install it directly from CPAN
Sorry, this isn't obvious to me. Why can't you let it install from CPAN?
I was in reference to the CPAN module which automatically downloads and
installs modules from CPAN which doesn't work on VMS, not the manual
process of fetching from CPAN and installing it yourself. If you do
have automatic install from CPAN working, please tell me how.
Also, what module are you trying to install so I can play along at home.
Apache::AuthenSmb. However, one of the prerequisites for this module is
Authen::Smb which is probably one of the worst done modules I've ever
encountered. Contact me offline if you want to try to install it.
