Subject: broken installation
Trying to install Win32::FileOp, especially under Windows without the help of CPAN.pm's help was awkward. The module required Win32::API and Lazy. The first was easy to install, the second I couldn't find anywhere. There appears to be a Lazy module in one of Tony Bowden's distirbutions but that didn't help, being a slow brain day it took me a while to smack my forehead and go check Jenda's homepage. There I downloaded the module, made my own distribution using h2xs -x Lazy and dropping the module in and installed it. During Make test however I realised I also needed Win32::AbsPath which I also got from Jenda's page. This should be the prereqs. It works now though :) Simon
Thanks for bugging me. The Lazy.pm was renamed to Data::Lazy to conform to CPAN masters' request and uploaded, Win32::AbsPath was uploaded and Win32::FileOp was updated to use Data::Lazy instead. The only other change Win32::FileOp is the additiona of function GetLargeFileSize(), no need to update :-) Jenda
