3.15. | What if a module is not available in PPM format? |
Many of the CPAN modules are written entirely
in Perl and don't require a compiler, so you can use the
CPAN.pm module/shell which comes with Perl.
The only thing you need is nmake - a
windows version of make which you can download from:http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe It's a self extracting archive so run it and move the resulting files into your windows (or winnt) directory. Then go to a command window (DOS prompt) and run: perl -MCPAN -e shell The first time you run the CPAN shell, you will be asked a number of
questions by the automatic configuration process. Accepting the default is
generally pretty safe. You'll be asked where various programs are on your
system (eg: gzip, tar, ftp etc). Don't worry if you don't have them since
CPAN.pm will use the o conf init If you're behind a firewall, when you're asked for an FTP or HTTP proxy enter it's URL like this: http://your.proxy.address:port/ You can probably use http:// for both FTP and HTTP (depending on your proxy). After you've selected a CPAN archive near you, you will finally get a 'cpan>' prompt. Then you can type: install XML::SAX and sit back while CPAN.pm downloads, unpacks, tests and installs all the relevant code in all the right places. |

3.16. | "could not find ParserDetails.ini" |
A number of people have reported encountering
the error "could not find ParserDetails.ini in ..." when installing or
attempting to use XML::SAX .
ParserDetails.ini is used by
XML::SAX::ParserFactory to determine which
SAX parser modules are installed. It should be created by the
XML::SAX installation script and should be
updated automatically by the install script for each SAX parser module.
Once you have successfully installed If you are packaging perl -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl))->save_parsers()" Don't unconditionally run this command, or users who re-install
