How do you install a perl module that requires compilation of C code? I do know the general installation using PPM and CPAN. Thanks in advance.

  • by refering to PPM I suppose you're using Active State Perl - probably on Windows – mbx Apr 11 '11 at 12:23

ActiveState Perl and Strawberry Perl are distributions that already comes with all necessary parts. (On outdated version of ActiveState Perl, you had to install and set up the compiler toolchain yourself.)

Then, simply install modules as per the Stack Overflow Perl FAQ: What's the easiest way to install a missing Perl module?
