Installing modules using Strawberry Perl
You can still use ppm
, but it is not recommended. Run CPAN client from the Strawberry Perl or Strawberry Perl (64-bit), sub folder Tools, entry in the Start menu.
Type install Module::Name
there.
As Alexandr says, you can use the CPAN client via the start menu. You can also install modules just as you would on Unix from the DOS window:
perl -MCPAN -e shellinstall Quantum::Entanglement
You can also download the .tar.gz from CPAN, unzip it and install as you would in Unix:
cd Module-Name-1.23perl Makefile.PLdmakedmake testdmake install
You may need to make sure your %PATH% environment variable has the right entry to get to Strawberry Perl, and does not contain other copies of dmake or gcc, which will sometimes lead to headaches.
Change the directory:
cd C:\Strawberry\perl\bin
Then
C:\Strawberry\perl\bin>cpan Lingua::EN::Sentence
and the module will install automatically.
