Installing perl packages

Hi All,
I am using Teamsite version 6.5.I have to write a perl script which need some external packages to be installed.This can be easily done using PPM functionality in normal perl setup but in Teamsite their is iw-perl installed which does not recognize PPM or any other command line methods of perl.
Can you tell me any alternative method to install external packages in Teamsite.

iw-perl is, I believe, based on a CPAN distribution of Perl - and thus you either need to use the cpan utility or download and build modules from CPAN manually yourself.

I tried downloading the packages from CPAN and then manually insatalling it but its not getting installed.
May be its not rite method to install in iw-perl??
and iw-perl is perl which is automatically installed on the system when Teamsite is installed.

If you did all of the above - can you show us the output of the last command?

Which step(s) did you originally omit?

Hi,actually i did'nt missed any step but i followed different approach:
1) I downloaded the modules from CAPN and unzipped it.
2) Then through command prompt i browsed to the same folder and executed Makefile.pl

i got some warnings but the module was installed.

Sounds strange - executing Makfile.pl is intended to generate a Makefile (no extension) from which you are suppose to then run the make utility.

However - if you say you managed to get it done successfully - I'm happy for you.
