I'm using Eclipse with Perl (ActivePerl) on a PC without an Internet connection. It was quite tricky to add EPIC Perl into Eclipse, but this works fine.
Now I'd like to add the PadWalker debugger to my Perl installation - but I need an offline installer.
I found some information at:
http://perlmaven.com/padwalker
How do I install PadWalker using CPAN (cpan PadWalker) or PPM (ppm install PadWalker), but it is only specified for online installation.
Even the hint with the proxy system variable (incl. username + password) doesn't work, as there isn't any Internet connection on this PC.
So wherefrom can I get an offline installer for PadWalker? Or wherefrom can I download a ZIP archive to put it to the local repository that can be defined within the PPM (Perl package manager)?
Here's a quick version.
Go to any facility that has an Internet connection, and search CPAN for PadWalker.
The latest version is v2.2 and is documented here.
On the right of that page is a link to the latest gzipped release, currently PadWalker-2.2.tar.gz.
Copy that file to your target system.
You should download that file and follow the directions in perldoc perlmodinstall, which are essentially:
Unzip the compressed file
Unpack the tar contents
cd to the unpacked directory, and do
perl Makefile.pl
make test
And, if the tests were successful
make install

I am trying to download and install an app called "code printer" from Github but there seems to be no setup. I have installed the Git app on my Windows computer and it has been configured with my username and email ID. I have downloaded the files to my computer from the website. I am unsure about how to proceed. I am new to github and a step by step procedure would greatly help. Thank you.
This is the url where the app can be found : https://github.com/jaredpetersen/codeprinter
On each Github projects, developers often leave a README.md file in the root of their repository to give more details about their project. This is the case for that one: https://github.com/jaredpetersen/codeprinter/blob/master/README.md
In 90% of the time, they offer installation instruction on how to build and install their project on your own computer. Code Printer, for example, seems to have this section in particular. They even have a ready to use hosted version there: http://jaredpetersen.github.io/codeprinter/.
In the "Usage" section, there is two key important things to note. The first one, the technology used to develop this software, which is Node.js, then it is followed by the list of command lines to run under a command prompt in order to build and run the software. Node.js includes, once installed on your computer, npm, the Node.js package manager. This package manager is necessary to build and run the software.
So in short:
Download & install Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/. If you have the
Chocolatey package manager on your computer, you can alternatively
install it with the command "choco install nodejs-lts".
Open a command prompt and then navigate to the project's folder on your computer. Be sure to open it after the installation of Node.js.
You can test if the installation is successful by typing "npm" then
enter to see if npm respond to the command. If not, maybe your path
environment variable isn't pointing to the executable. Just make sure
it is.
Type
npm install
npm run build
npm start
in the command prompt
Enjoy!
If something is still unclear, simply leave a comment and I will add more details in this answer.
The instructions are on the page you linked to
npm install
npm run build
npm start
You will need to have Node.JS installed for npm to work.

Is there any difference between rpm and yum? I know the recent system prefer yum, but want to know if there is need for rpm also.
to expand on the Udo's answer, there is the program, "rpm", which manipulates specifically the packages it is asked to manipulate, and there is "yum", which is a more intelligent management system that can find dependencies and download .rpm files even if they're not in the system.
with the "rpm" command, you need to know the exact location of the .rpm package, but with "yum", you just need to know the name of it, and as long as it's available through your repositories list, it will be installed along with its dependencies
Yum is a package manager and rpms are the actual packages.
With yum you can add or remove software. The software itself comes within a rpm.
The package manager allows you to install the software from hosted repositories and it will usually install dependencies as well.

I want to install the PowerShell Community Extensions using only the command-line.
I don't want to use a UI, no right-click extract, double-clicking an MSI file. I have to do this process on dozens of computers. However, all of the instructions I've found involve all of this clicking and downloading.
I'm looking for a series of PowerShell commands that can complete the installation. Ideal solution would be completely self-contained: download file X & install. I would like to avoid copying local versions to the given server.
Requirement of Admin access is fine.
Clarifications:
I'm starting from a blank computer, with PoSH 2.0 installed. I'm logged in via PsSession.
I'm looking for a series of PoSH commands, not a list of instructions.
I'm actively trying to avoid "Open IE and download a file", that's the anti-thesis of a shell.
Edit for 2014
I would now do this with Chocolatey.
Chocolatey has a one-line download & install command followed by an additional command in to install PSCX.
PSCX (2.0) is available as a zip and all you have to do is copy the contents of the zip file to your modules folder -$env:Home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules ( for user) or $PSHome\Modules (for system) - and when you want to use it, issue import-module pscx.
Read the release notes for more details.

Since May 14th the current version of Perl is 5.14. In Ubuntu repository the current version of Perl is 5.10 which is no longer supported. So Im trying to manually upgrading Perl.
What is the recommended way to upgrade perl 5.10 to perl 5.14 in Ubuntu?
I found the perlbrew tool, but it seems to install just in the users home.
Perlbrew docs says that you can change your $HOME dir to something else:
The directory ~/perl5/perlbrew will contain all install perl
executables, libraries, documentations, lib, site_libs. If you need to
install perlbrew, and the perls it brews, into somewhere else because,
say, your HOME has limited quota, you can do that by setting a
PERLBREW_ROOT environment variable before running the installer:
export PERLBREW_ROOT=/opt/perlbrew curl -L
http://xrl.us/perlbrewinstall | bash
download, configure, compile ....

Where can I find some simple W3C Validator API info for Perl? I've tried looking and just keeps leading to page after page of documentation.
Simply looking for download module or whatever is needed (I am new to
Perl but I want to use it for this project)
How to install it (Again, new to Perl)
There was going to be a third about documentation but I've found loads!
See W3C::LogValidator::HTMLValidator:
Batch HTML validation (using the W3C Markup Validator)
See also W3C for more information on related tools.
As for installation instructions, it would be good to know your platform. For starters, however, you can read perldoc perlmodinstall.
Keep in mind that using the platform specific package installer is preferable if you are adding modules to the system's Perl installation.
You want WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C, see the synopsis in its documentation for a taste of the API; I just tried it and it's very simple. W::V::H::W3C is a normal CPAN distribution, you install it the usual way. There are a number of SO questions about Perl module installation, read them if you encounter problems.
The API is documented in the documentation for the Validator, but you don't really need to worry about it as there is a nice abstraction available on CPAN.
How you install it depends largely on where you got your install of Perl from. On UNIX based systems I would follow the bootstrap instructions for local::lib and then install with cpan WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C. On Windows, I'd use Strawberry Perl and then just go with their cpan program.
For performance and "being nice to the W3C's bandwidth bill", I'd install a local copy of the Validator (again, the specifics depend on the OS you are using).
This is on CPAN: WebService::Validator::Feed::W3C.
To install then read CPAN doc for full details. Quick synopsis (command line):
cpan WebService::Validator::Feed::W3C
