If the IO::Scalar automated BS is messing up for you, here's an alternative method of installing IO::Scalar.
Visit
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/module/IO::Scalar - Click the "Download" link next to IO-Stringy (IO::Scalar's parent package)
Extract the file somewhere memorable. Open a command window (Start->Run->"cmd") and navigate to the folder including it (e.g. "cd \perl\IO-stringy-2.110\").
Now that you're in the folder, execute these commands:
Code:
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
