Author Modules not installing to standard LIB directory
Mark

Hello.

I tried installing several modules today, using the usual
procedure:

perl makefile.pl
nmake
nmake -test
nmake -install

The process ran fine. However, the new modules
were not automatically installed to the standard
library directory (c:\perl\lib). I was able to
manually copy them from the \blib directory to
c:\perl\lib\ and get them working that way.

Is there an additional step that I need to take
during installation to get this to happen automatically?
For most modules that I have installed, I have not run
into this problem.

Thanks
-Mark

Try losing the leading dashes. That is,

perl makefile.pl
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
