I'm pretty new to Perl, but now I need to install and use a Perl software package (Daniel Klein's thermd). It requires a whole series of CPAN modules. I'm using Windows 7. I have so far done the following:
1. Updated my ActiveState Perl installation to the latest version. 2. In a command window opened using Run as Administrator, typed cpan App::cpanminus 3. Got a long list of log info containing many error messages and warnings, the most interesting of which was probably several Access Denied messages. I tried capturing the log into a file at http://www.sylvester-bradley.org/rowan/docs/cpanminus.txt which shows the following several times: nmake -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Strangely it does _not_ include the Access Denied messages. You can see as much of the text as was saved in the command window at http://www.sylvester-bradley.org/rowan/docs/cmdwindow.txt (sorry about the line wrapping - blame Windows, not me). This all smells of some kind of Windows 7 permissions problem... Can anyone guide me how to get through this stage so I can install the CPN modules, and then (hopefully) get thermd to run?
