Hi Jeff / Gurus,

Thanks again. I am ashamed that because I had not found out enough. Sorry for that.

However, I would like to emphasize that I did search alot of the the internet and did not find relevant stuff, maybe my search was wrong ways.

Secondly, I needed help still because I dont really understand the documentation you just gave that well even after reading for many times(reading wise I am not that well versed because I got some problems) and also the I tried to install Net::Smtp::SSL after I unzip the file, it mentioned the file could not be installed because it could not be found. The I/O module also could not be installed in similar fashion.

1) I just wanted to know how to install the modules in windows and make sure that it being called in the correct directory by the script(see error below). I had uninstalled ppm and only using strawberry, but seemed like ppm module still there in the directories, should I just use strawberry directory in my perl script where strawberry bin exe file is installed?. I had also tried untar from the directory and using the install command in the perl directory.

Kindly advise.


Thanks and Best Rgds,
Andrew

First, don't use ppm if you have Strawberry Perl installed. ppm is the utility that Active State relies on and its, in my opinion, a piece of junk.

You want to go to the command line and and start up the cpan interface as follows:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

Once you are in there, all you should need to do is type:

install <module name>

replacing <module name> with the name of the module you want to install. It is case sensitive, so make sure you have the name correct. So, for the Net::SMTP module, you would use:

install Net::SMTP

and it should work just fine. If there are dependencies, you may have to install them before the package you are needing, but it should tell you that.

Regards,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Tried commands install IO::Socket::SSL , force install IO::Socket::SSL . Likewise for Net::SMTP::SSL using install Net::SMTP::SSL and force install Net::SMTP::SSL. Got failure to install message like below.

Is it PPM not uninstalled? Or any other reason?


Thanks and Best Rgds,
Andrew

Its because PPM is the utility that is used by Active State for their Windows version of Perl. Strawberry Perl uses the actual CPAN interface. The advantage is that the entire CPAN library is available to you, not just what Active State has ported over to use PPM.

I have had to force installs like you have. It is usually because some test failed. The best thing to do is to write a bit of code that does what you want and test it. If it works, then its installed with what you need. If not, then it gets a bit trickier as you then have to troubleshoot why the test failed and then re-install the module. I would suggest the test and see if it works as expected. If so, great, then move on.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thanks, can you give me a lead on how and where to start write some codes for gmail emailing or smtp emailing?

I just wanted to send email from some free email portal like gmail, yahoo or hotmail. Not sure if they opened it also?


Cheers...
Andrew

It may never work if you have activeperl and strawberry perl installed at the same time on your PC.

I said before you can try using the CPAN shell with activeperl but you simply ignored that suggestion. PPM is a convenience, but it does not mean you can't use CPAN to install modules but you may have to jump through some hoops at first to get it to work.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks. I did not ignore, I uninstalled ppm from windows control panel add/remove program. But the ppm modules still there.

Do I need to remove all the ppm modules in the physical directories also? Kindly advise. Then I have to put strawberry perl bin directory my perl script right?


Best Rgds,
Andrew

My name is Kevin.... I can't help you with uninstalling your programs. But if you want to use Strawberry perl then you will need to completely uninstall activeperl first. But you will have to figure that out. Once you have all of activeperl uninstalled, then uninstall strawberry perl and reinstall it. Thats all the help I can give you in this regards.

[happyse27]

a) ok thanks Kevin(sorry typo to your name).
I will uninstall activestate ppm and after that all its physical modules,
and also follow your instructions to uninstall strawberry and reinstall again.

b) Btw, I need help to see how to install a free shopping cart, any recommendation?

I saw Mango::cart, not sure if it is good.

Thanks,
Andrew

[KevinADC]

don't uninstall PPM, just uninstall activeperl and PPM will be uninstalled too. Make sure to uninstall and not just delete. It might be a good idea top check the directories activeperl makes where it stores modules after you uninstall activeperl. Anything you find left over should be deleted. Same with Strawberry perl. Once everything is uninstalled (including strawberry perl) or deleted then reinstall Strawberry perl.

I have no recommendations on a shopping cart.

Thanks Kevin! It worked like a charm for all now.. Only thing left now is BELOW, kindly assist... :|...

, and other installed.

For Net::SSLeay 1.35 module, it needs 1.03 ver openssl from www.openssl.org. Where to get openssl 1.03 SSL? I could not find the relevant link(see first link below)

NAME
cpan - easily interact with CPAN from the command line

SYNOPSIS
# with arguments and no switches, installs specified modules
cpan module_name [ module_name ... ]

# with switches, installs modules with extra behavior
cpan [-cfimt] module_name [ module_name ... ]

# without arguments, starts CPAN.pm shell
cpan

# without arguments, but some switches
cpan [-ahrvACDLO]

DESCRIPTION
This script provides a command interface (not a shell) to CPAN. At the
moment it uses CPAN.pm to do the work, but it is not a one-shot command
runner for CPAN.pm.

Meta Options
These options are mutually exclusive, and the script processes them in
this order: [hvCAar]. Once the script finds one, it ignores the others,

Sorry, can't help.

ok thanks Kevin.


Hi Kevin / All,

Still got problem with openssl 0.96d as per recommended by http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-modul...ay-1.35.readme for Net::SSLeay.pm


Any workaround? I got the error messages when compiling below even after the advise 1 and 2 is given below from different sources. Thanks in Advance, really desperate to resolve this issues. Searched for many websites still having problem.

1) C:\> SET INCLUDE_PATH=C: \OpenSSL\Includ e as per http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=664220

2) and then also follow the instructions in http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-modul...ay-1.35.readme


Thanks and Best Rgds,
Andrew
