What I wound up doing, was typing "install IO::Scalar", then letting it run through until it errored out saying that it couldn't find the file '@' (I guess @ was supposed to be used as an "echo off" character or something)... then in Windows Explorer, I went into this directory:
Code:
C:\.cpan\build\IO-stringy-2.109\lib\IO
I copied the following files:
Code:
Scalar.pm
Scalar.pm.html
ScalarArray.pm
WrapTie.pm
Into the following directory:
Kind of a roundabout way of doing it, but I verified that it worked by typing in the following command at a DOS prompt:
Code:
perl -MIO::Scalar -e "print 'Installed'"
If it prints out the word "Installed" after you input that command, then IO::Scalar is installed.
Also note that you may have to go back into Perl (
perl -MCPAN -e shell) and type in '
reload index' (minus the quotes) in order for it to recognize the copied files. That's an extra step that I took before testing it... I'm not sure if it's 100% necessary to get it to recognize Scalar, but, I don't really feel like messing around with Perl anymore to try to find out.
Now I just need to find that missing
plugin.pl file...
