installing LIBNET and NET::TELNET on a windows 200 server

Hey all,
I have tried using MCPAN to install Net::Telnet and LIBNET on a
windows 2000 server running perl 5.8, with no luck

On Net::Telnet I get:

Checking if kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing makefile for Net::Telnet
--OK
'test' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
test -- NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

when I try doing it manually I get (when I type in make)

makefile:291: *** multiple target patterns. Stop

and line 291 is
config :: $$.exists
$ $

any advice suggestions appriciated!

thanks,
dougc

If you have ActiveState perl try installing with ppm instead:

ppm install libnet
ppm install Net-Telnet

According to http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/ they are both
available.

If you're not using ActiveState perl, could you provide details of how your
perl was built. Providing the output of 'perl -V' should suffice.

Cheers,
Rob
