HOWTO: Host a 6.0 Server on Windows (Perl Quests enabled!!)

[SiezeALL]

I wouldn't post here but the link to the Error thread gives me a 404 error, so here it is.

I have mysql installed (though it's irrelevant at this point.)
I have Perl 5.8.2 installed
I have NMAKE.exe in c:\perl\bin

I open up the command prompt and type in perl -MCPAN -e shell.
It tells me some junk and i tell it no to the manual configuration.

It does some more stuff and then leaves me at cpan> for a prompt.

so I type in install IO::Scalar, works great til the end...

Anyone have any ideas, please? Is there a way to get rid of the @ before the C:\perl\bin\perl.exe?

Thanks in advance


--- Edit: I tried it on my windows xp pro machine and it worked flawlessly. Am I correct in assuming this doesn't work for windows 98? /grin The code above was from my 98 machine.
