Win32::NetResource

[williey]

I'm trying to install Win32::NetResource module in order to create shared drives. Through ppm3, I was not able to find and install a copy.

Google found libwin32-0.24.tar.gz. In the README file, it contains the following instruction.

   + perl Makefile.PL               [either at toplevel or in subdirs]
   
   + $MAKE                          [either at toplevel or in subdirs]
   
   + $MAKE test                     [optional, some interactive tests]
   
   + $MAKE install                  [either at toplevel or in subdirs]

$MAKE above stands for either "dmake" or "nmake" depending on your
available compiler, and perl configuration.

Ran the "perl makefile.pl" without a problem. But I do not have dmake or nmake. Is there a repository out there where I can just d/l and install this module?

The readme also states that on Win32 systems (which I assume you are on due to the module) you should just copy the contents of the lib folder in the archive to the sitelib folder of your perl installation (such as C:\perl\)
Since the makefile.pl passed without any errors then you can assume there are no dependency conflicts. If you need more help, just ask.

Thanks!

I just ran this command and found that I had v0.23 installed. No need to upgrade to v0.24.

C:\> perl -MWin32 -e "print $Win32::VERSION
