Does Win32::Word::Writer work under cygwin?

Won't install I thought the "Can't locate Module/Build/Compat.pm" was a clue so I tried installing that first, but it gave this error: CPAN.pm: Going to build K/KW/KWILLIAMS/Module-Build-0.2808.tar.gz Malformed argument 'PREFIX=~/perl' at lib/Module/Build/Compat.pm line 163, <DATA> line 547. Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install I'll probably figure this out for myself, but I thought you might have seen it before and know exactly how to fix it. Thank you. -- Show quoted text

It looks like a Module::Build problem, not related at all to my module. Note that ExtUtil::MakeMaker uses PREFIX=DIR variable for installing stuff locally, but Module::Build uses something like --prefix=DIR or something like that. Could it be that you need to a) update your CPAN, and b) configure the M::B setting for this? Win32::Word::Writer also needs MS Word installed, and Win32::OLE (wich may or may not work under Cygwin, but I think it may). /J

Thanks. I'll pursue those lines of thought. On 7/22/07, johanl@DarSerMan.com via RT <bug-Win32-Word-Writer@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text
