At least for any modules that have an XS component (C lib linked in). Then you can either download and install by surfing CPAN (usually http://search.cpan.org is easier) or by using CPAN through Perl itself, at a Cygwin prompt: > perl -MCPAN -e shell Then just do: > install <module name> i.e. install Text::CSV CPAN should do the rest. You may want to have a look at perldoc perlmodinstall. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
