You can use Andreas Koenig's CPAN module
( http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/CPAN )
Go into the newly-created directory and type:
perl Makefile.PL
- make
make test
or
C. BUILD
+You'll need the C<nmake> utility, available at
+http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/nmake15.exe
+or dmake, available on CPAN.
+http://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake/

Does the module require compilation (i.e. does it have files that end
-in .xs, .c, .h, .y, .cc, .cxx, or .C)? If it doesn't, go to INSTALL.
-If it does, life is now officially tough for you, because you have to
-compile the module yourself -- no easy feat on Windows. You'll need
-the C<nmake> utility, available at
-ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe
+in .xs, .c, .h, .y, .cc, .cxx, or .C)? If it does, life is now
+officially tough for you, because you have to compile the module
+yourself -- no easy feat on Windows. You'll need a compiler such as
+Visual C++. Alternatively, you can download a pre-built PPM package
+from ActiveState.

+
+Go into the newly-created directory and type:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ nmake test
+
D. INSTALL
-Copy the module into your Perl's I<lib> directory. That'll be one
-of the directories you see when you type
+While still in that directory, type:
- perl -e 'print "@INC"'
+ nmake install

A. DECOMPRESS
Go into the newly-created directory and type:
perl Makefile.PL
- make
make test
You will need the packages mentioned in F<README.dos>
Now you're ready to build:
- mms
mms test
Substitute C<mmk> for C<mms> above if you're using MMK.
