installing and loading modules Can't Post
Greetings,

I am very new to Perl so if this info is documented somewhere in plain sight, I apologize - please lead me to it.

I am trying to install the P4::Client and P4::UI moduels (used to access the Perforce API), load them into a page and utilize their methods to perform various actions on different files. Here is what I've got so far:

- on a windows2k machine using IIS and ActiveState Perl 5.6

- downloaded the module itself
- unzipped the contents of the package into D:\perl\lib\P4 (my web root is at d:\webroot2)
- at the command line ran perl Makefile.PL


- wrote the following web page:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use P4::Client;
use P4::UI;

my $client = new P4::Client;
my $ui = new P4::UI;

$client->SetClient( 'devweb2-2k' );
$client->SetPort ( 1666 );
#$client->SetPassword( $p4password );
$client->Init() or die( "Failed to connect to Perforce Server" );
$client->Run( $ui, "info" );
$client->Run( $ui, "edit", "index.asp" );
$client->Final();



when i request this page in a browser, I get the following error


CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:


Can't locate auto/P4/Client/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains: D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib .) at D:/Perl/lib/AutoLoader.pm line 146.
Can't locate loadable object for module P4::Client in @INC (@INC contains: D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib .) at D:\webroot2\cgi\p4example.pl line 3
Compilation failed in require at D:\webroot2\cgi\p4example.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at D:\webroot2\cgi\p4example.pl line 3.



I'm assuming this means that it is not finding the modules that I have installed and am trying to load and that I installed them in the wrong location. Is there a default place where the page will look? or am I way off target here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-d

You'll usually need to do
Code
make 
make test 
make install
after 'perl Makefile.PL'.

Just did it (with a different module), not even a minute ago Tongue So you're telling me that unzipping and running Makefile.PL is enough? For a module which contains XS? 'Tis a strange world, ye olde Windows world.

Nope, I mean that you don't run perl Makefile.PL, make and make install on a windows platform Smile

So how do you install a module which contains XS/C files that need to be compiled?

You can download [url=http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe]nmake to compile modules on Windows platforms. The [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcug98/html/_asug_overview.3a_.nmake_reference.asp]reference for nmake is here.

Yes, I know. Actually, you need mre than nmake, you'll also need a C Compiler :-) I've successfully compiled and installed modules this way already, that's why I was wondering what the real way of doing it (without a compiler) was.

Re: [Jasmine] installing and loading modules [In reply to] Can't Post
so can someone point me to the syntax used to use nmake to compile and install this module?
