CPAN is great, but.... Muz 12-29-2004

I don't have the experience with gcc to compile the modules. Is there
a site that provides the compiled .xs and .os files? I'm looking for
Term::ReadKey for Windoze.

You're using ActivePerl, right? (I'm guessing you didn't compile Perl
for Windows yourself.) Use PPM.

Sadly, ActiveState doesn't appear to have Term::ReadKey in its PPM
repository. I Googled for it and found a PPM package here at
http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppmdir.html. Try this:
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Term-ReadKey.ppd

I wonder if this is some sort of temporary anomaly on ActiveState's
part. I *know* that I have installed this module on Windows by using
an ActiveState ppd -- but that was a couple of years back. The module
is documented on ActiveState's site at:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/CodeDoc/TermReadKey/ReadKey.html

.... and it's listed as building properly into a ppm at:
http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-T.html

Perhaps someone could raise this on the
perl-win32-users@activestate.com mailing list.

Maybe it's a TEMPORAL anomaly, ActivePerl is in the middle of a TIME
WARP! (Sorry, Star Trek moment... ) :o)

No problem! Just reverse the polarity on the Camelon Emitter to make it
produce a Perliton Pulse.
