You can install modules using PPM locally as well, quick Google brought up this tutorial because it's been a while since I did it

These modules are missing, and typically you would use
ppm install <module name>
'cept that the firewall and ppm don't work together, so it has to be done manually. Painful is an understatement.

Presumably there is more kit I need to install.
This is fiddly, horrible and a complete waste of an afternoon. I have no idea how Perl survives being this fiddly to set up. The real ball ache is this is only a demo, and I would need to set this up for real at some point.
Going to bail, and chalk Perl based systems up to those with way more patience. Not a viable commerical solution methinks.

Originally posted by suityou01 View PostSome more progress. I managed to get past this error by installing the module. The pm install <modulename> doesnt work due to the firewall. I have configured it to use the firewall but I get a 407 which I think means it can't authenticate.
Anyway, I have downloaded the TimeDate module and unpacked it, and now get another error!
(I have installed all of the bugzilla prerequisite modules in this way btw)
The error now is
Can't locate Email/Address.pm
The problem is, the package name and the zip archive do not necessarily match. For example, in the previous problem the zip archive was called TimeDate and the package was called Date.
So in this example, I have no clue which zip to download to fix this.

You'll presumably need to find out where @INC is pointing; this page may help: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/perl_inc.html

http://localhost/cgi-bin/printerenv.pl
So this gave me some hope.
I also managed to get it parsing the index.cgi in the bugzilla directory by adding a .htaccess file with the line
options ExecCGI
Now I get a new error
Can't locate Date/Parse.pm in @INC

Order deny,allow
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
and yet I get
Options ExecCGI is off in this directory C:/wamp/www/bugzilla/index.cgi
Driving me mad. Help please.

As a complete guess and admiting I know nothing about it I would change
Allow from 127.0.0.1
to
Allow from *
Or just remove the allow bit.
