PadWalker for Windows Solution - CPAN::Forum

I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

PadWalker for Windows Solution

If you are attempting to install Padwalker for perl on windows, go to your Perl Package Manager and add the following site as a place to look for perl packages: http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/ This site was valid as of March 5, 2008. In the activeperl PPM you can find the place to add sites to browse for Perl packages under Edit---Preferences---Repositories

Once the packages get loaded up in the PPM, you can use the PPM to search and find Padwalker. Select it , mark for installation and execute.

You have to do all this nonsense because this module is not part of the standard perl library and EPIC decided to make it required without actually providing it as part of its Eclipse installation. I guess they assume everyone develops on a unix or linux system.

Enjoy

Re: PadWalker for Windows Solution

I can't get Padwalker to work under Vista x64. I forced the PPM install of PadWalker-1.7-PPM510.tar.gz, but Eclipse still complains about it not installed.

Re: PadWalker for Windows Solution

I could able to install the Padwalker sucessfully on Windows XP (Running Perl 5.8.x), I followed:
1) Downloaded the PadWalker.ppd from http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/ And it saved under C:\Perl, but default it saved as .htm extension so I have renames the extension to .ppd (so the file name becomes C:\Perl\PadWalker.ppd)
And then ran
2) C:\Perl# ppm install PadWalker.ppd
it gave error "ppm install failed: No file at C:\Perl\PadWalker-1.92-PPM58.tar.gz"
Then I have downloaded the file PadWalker-1.92-PPM58.tar.gz from http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/ and saved it into C:\Perl and again ran:
C:\Perl# ppm install PadWalker.ppd
Unpacking PadWalker-1.92...done
Generating HTML for PadWalker-1.92...done
Updating files in site area...done
6 files installed
and installation was successfully. Hope this will help.

Re: PadWalker for Windows Solution

Make sure that the Module (PadWalker) filename format is:

<Module Name>-<Module Version>-<PPM Version>.tar.gz

Otherwise it will keep failing with: ppm install failed: No file ...
