    I got the knack of identifying and unzipping and installing missing modules. Well I spent all afternoon doing this. Now I need to install the template toolkit. I now need to run make, and I get "make is not recognized as an internal or external command"

    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.

      may want to look into an install of ActiveState Perl. It comes with a lot of the regulary used perl modules by default and makes life a lot easier

        Thanks dude. I did install this (the bugzilla install instructions say so, so monkey see monkey do)

        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.

          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
