# Manual Installation of Perl Modules

## Instructions

If you need to install Perl modules manually, here's how it's done. Download the module using the link given in the next section, and then apply this magic incantation, as root:

    bash# tar -xzvf <module>.tar.gz
    bash# cd <module>
    bash# perl Makefile.PL
    bash# make
    bash# make test
    bash# make install

In order to compile source code under Windows you will need to obtain a 'make' utility. The `nmake` utility provided with Microsoft Visual C++ may be used. As an alternative, there is a utility called `dmake` available from CPAN which is written entirely in Perl. The majority of the links given below, however, are to pre-compiled versions of the modules, which can be installed on Windows simply by issuing the following command once you have downloaded the PPD file (which may be packaged within a ZIP file):

              > ppm install <filename.ppd>

## Download Locations

Running Bugzilla on Windows requires the use of ActiveState Perl 5.8.1 or higher. Some modules already exist in the core distribution of ActiveState Perl so no PPM link is given. (This is noted where it occurs.)
