my perl -v in case thats useful to anyone
PS C:\> perl -v
This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 0 (v5.32.0) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
Anyone have any experience with this at all? I tried looking up some related issues on the errors I was getting but didn't find anything really useful.
Thanks!
#Clamp provided the correct solution by just completely deleting the Strawberry directory and doing a fresh install. Seemed as though there were two different versions conflicting.
I'd suggest deleting C:\Strawberry and install to a clean directory. – clamp Nov 25 '20 at 23:01

I have tried following the steps here but it looks like this for ActivePerl and NOT Strawberry Perl.
I am trying to install one of the Perl module in my local system (Windows 7). But its failing to install the module

It was working fine before and I have installed couple of modules, don't know what happens suddenly.
Please help me to resolve this. Do I need to make any modifications in config?
You're telling Perl to into ~/perl5. That's not a Windows path, and ExtUtils::MakeMaker is using a unix-specific function (getpwuid) to expand it. Your problem should go away if you use a Windows path.
That said, if you have access to write to C:\Perl64\..., I suggest that you install modules to the default directory by removing INSTALL_BASE=~/perl5.
If you don't have access to write to C:\Perl64\..., I suggest that you install Perl itself in a directly to which you do have access to write, and then I'd install modules to the default directory by removing INSTALL_BASE=~/perl5.
Since you didn't actually specify INSTALL_BASE=~/perl5 on the command line, you are specifying it through the environment (PERL_MM_OPT and PERL_MB_OPT), or in cpan's configuration (o conf from within cpan).

I integrated perl in eclipse and used Net::SSH::Except module for scripting, but am getting an error as Can't locate Net/SSH/Expect.pm in #INC (you may need to install the Net::SSH::Expect
module) (#INC contains: C:/Perl64/site/lib/MSWin32-x64-multi-thread C:/Perl64/site/lib

Therefore, Am trying to install IO::Tty for Expect dependency, using command cpan>notest install IO::Tty.
i am getting the following error message :
and the module is not being installed, even the NET::SSH::Expect not getting installed.
cpan> notest install IO::Tty

i have tried installed IO::Tty with following command
cpanm --install IO::Tty
cpanm --verbose IO::Tty
cpanm --force IO::Tty
all failing , this may be due to the lower version of the perl.
what is the command to upgrade cpan from cmd and also perl through cmd?
Sadly the Perl Expect module requires a UNIX based OS to function. I have implemented this a few times on a windows platform and basically you need to install an older ActiveState distribution of TCL, then you can have the Perl script call an external EXPECT script, like this:
$expectOutput = `[path_to_expect_script.expect]`;
Your variable will then contain the output of the Expect script.
Hope this helps!
Edit: You may like to reword your title to attract more answers relating to using expect on windows.
Solved!
the new version of Expect is made compatible with the windows, but it need to be installed with cygwin ..
In eclipse , make interpreter as cygwin (windows -> preference -> EPIC Perl -> interpreter).
and execute the script:)
Padre IDE is complaining that:
Can't locate Email/Send/SMTP/Gmail.pm in #INC (#INC contains: C:\Users\me\mymodule C:/Dwimperl/perl/site/lib C:/Dwimperl/perl/vendor/lib C:/Dwimperl/perl/lib .) at myscript.pl line 21.
But Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail module is installed because in command prompt when I run cpan Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail I get the following message:
Loading internal null logger. Install Log::Log4perl for logging messages

What the heck is going wrong? Note in Padre when I go to Tools->Module Tools->Open CPAN Config File I get the error dialog popup:
Failed to find your CPAN configuration
Could this be part of the problem? I have searched the Padre help for cpan configuration but no results came up.
Any advice would be extremely helpful.
You appear to have two installations of Perl, one in C:\Dwimperl, and one in C:\Perl64. You are installing the module for the one in C:\Perl64, but you are using the one in C:\Dwimperl. Use the cpan that comes with the perl you wish to use.

This is a step of installing Git-Mediawiki (see https://github.com/moy/Git-Mediawiki/wiki/User-manual). However, after all the installation steps, the first git command reports that MediaWiki::API module isn't available:

I wonder if my installation method for the Perl module is correct. One thing strikes out as odd is the error
sh: /opt/local/bin/gzip: No such file or directory
I use Homebrew with standard paths, so the gzip binary is at /usr/local/bin/gzip. But I don't know if or where to fix it. It appears to be some search paths issue but I don't know how to fix it.
There might be something wrong with your ~/.cpan, the configuration for CPAN. You can try
# Re-install cpan
brew doctor
brew update
brew install cpan
# Remove or back up ~/.cpan
mv ~/.cpan ~/.cpan.bak
# Re-initialize ~/.cpan
cpan config
# Try installing the Perl module again
sudo cpan install MediaWiki::API
