Did you read the message that cpan had?

Quote:

NMAKE : fatal error U1081: '@' : program not found
Stop.
"C:\perl\nmake.exe" -- NOT OK

So cpan is looking for nmake in c:\perl\ and not c:\perl\bin\ as previously suggested. Simplist solution at this point is to move nmake to where it is expected.

well after much research and a buttload of reading i seem to have successfully pulled off the command

Code:

perl -MIO::Scalar -e "print 'Installed'"

all i did seem to be the following...
after getting this error several times

Code:

The bundle file "\.cpan\Bundle\CPAN.pm" may be a broken

bundlefile. It seems not to contain any bundle definition.

Please check the file and if it is bogus, please delete it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

enter directory C:\.cpan\build\IO-stringy-2.109\lib\IO
copy all those files to directory C:\Perl\lib\IO
enter directory C:\Perl\site\lib\IO and copy Scalar.pm Scalar.pm.html ScalarArray.pm, according to post
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/vie...c4f325a819a409
these files apparentlly need to be there...
anyway that did seem to work

Also make sure your nmake is a .exe , the download link from this thread isnt in .exe format so just go to your c:\perl\bin and rename NMAKE to NMAKE.exe
in the infamous words of Tree ... um *some wise arse quote*
