Need Help Installing Win32:SerialPort - ReVisited

[CM Analyst]

Ok, I will sound like an idiot and at the moment, I
feel like...

Previously I was able to install and use the
Win32:SerialPort module in my script on a WinXP PC.

My requirement is now to run script on a Windows 2000
Workstation, so I downloaded and installed Perl 5 and
the said module using "ppm.bat install Win32-API) (no
errors) and ran my script.

Now I am getting this error message:

C:\temp>perl serial1.pl
Can't locate Win32API/CommPort.pm in @INC (@INC
contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/SerialPort.pm line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/SerialPort.pm line 4
.
Compilation failed in require at serial1.pl line 11.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at serial1.pl line
11.

I manually copied the supposedly missing module to the
paths indicated in the @INC location but still cannot
get the script to run.

Can anyone please advise me. TIA.

Amad.

It sounds like your dependencies were not correctly installed. Try saying

ppm.bat install Win32API::CommPort
ppm.bat install Win32::SerialPort

And see if you still get the error after that.
