Hi, I am having difficulty getting the Net::Ping module to work properly. I am using ActivePerl 5.6.1.631 on a win32 platform. I can ping a server in a dos prompt ok, but when I try to get the Perl Net::Ping to work it always returns a failure. It seems to ponder over pinging the host for a co

What C compiler does a Makefile.PL file expect? I am having problems installing the MD5 module into a Perl installation on NT4, and I get a 'can't compile test program' error. When I look at the Makefile.PL sourcecode, it seems to want to issue the commands to the compiler in a different way tha

I am also using both and this morning tried to use make, to no avail. Someone else gave me the tip to try perl -V:make to see what version of make my installs use, one returns with 'make=nmake;' so I tried nmake instead... but neither make nor nmake are recognized as valid programs in dos. I have

2001-12-06 Thread Lanceo
