OK need some help with Perl.

I have no experience with Perl and am totally in the dark so idiot instruction please if you can help - ta.

I have Perl running under Windows XP using Activestate

I have an image processing script that I need to run using Perl.

The script (and .conf files) are zipped with .tar extension

I also require several modules to be installed, which I have and are also .tar extensions

No problem in unzipping but I believe that you need to do it in Perl?

So far so good.

The install instructions I was given may as well be Toureg!! No idea how to follow them. So:

How do I install the modules?
(I have the Activestate ppm packet manager installed, what I need to do I have no idea)

How do I intsall and run the Perl script?


Instructions given were:

You need:

Date::Calc
Date::Parse
Getopt::Long
Math::VecStat
Math::Round
Pod::Usage
GD

Script:

tar -xvfz scriptname.tgz
cd scriptname.tgz
/usr/bin/perl scriptname -conf image-01.conf
# extra debug information
/usr/bin/perl scriptname -conf image-01.conf -debug


Any help is gratefully received.

Ta!

Hello Jacques,

I'm afraid the best I can offer is to make you a nice cup of tea.

Oh Ta! Can I have a Jaffa Cake too?

OK back to the days of DOS and I figured out how to run the script.

Of course it doesn't run pased line 76 as it needs the modules installed, so any help with this?

Sorted!!

Ta for the tea Steve !thumbsup!

Ah, congrats on getting it working!

I hope you didn't descend to my level by dunking your Jaffa Cake? !wink!

Never!!! Jaffa's are not for dunking

!oops!

I was going to say "have you contacted Jacques" he'll crack it and I was right. !grin!

PC

LOL!!! Do I have a reputation now? This could be embarasing in the future......
