Apache WAMP2 cgi problem

Googling leads me to suspect this package, but I'm no Perl expert so I offer no guarantees :)

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. :tantrum:
 
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.
