Instaling the W3C Validator on windows (perl module problem)

Post by Neller »

Hi,

I recently tried to install the W3C HTML Validator on Windows XP, everything seems to have gone fine but i get the following error..

Can't locate Text/Iconv.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/www/perl/site/lib C:/www/perl/lib .) at C:/www/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check line 57.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/www/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check line 57


I have searched all over for the module which will install on windows but can't find it anywere, i have no experiance in perl at all so if it can be done on windows with the other versions i wouldn't no how

Can anybody help me please?

It means that you're missing a package (Text/Iconv.pm). I suggest that you read the manual that comes with the 'ppm' (perl package manager).

If i'm not mistaken ppm -i Text/Iconv.pm.. But you should have found out this all yourself.. Since it's mentionned in the installation documentation for the W3C validator... http://validator.w3.org/docs/install_win.html.

As i stated in my 1st post i already no why im getting this error and what module i need, i probably never said it correctly, The problem i have is i can't install that module on windows its not letting me.

I installed the other 4 Modules fine but im having trouble with this one, when i go on the site and look for Text-inconv it says "fail" on windows

I have also searched google for any help and anyone else who has had the same problem but found nothing.

I have been through http://validator.w3.org/docs/install_win.html over and over and the link it gives for all perl modules in 1 zip file does not work. And the link it gives to get them 1 by 1 thats were it says "fail" on Text-inconv under windows

I had a quick look at http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-T.html and it appears there is currently no Text-Iconv for ActivePerl5.8-win32 available...
