Can anyone tell me how to get this module installed on Win7? It is a requirement for ODF::lpOD.

I get the following error message:

I found descriptions of this problem by searching on Google, but nothing to help me resolve it.

Seems like your ExtUtils::MakeMaker version is too low. In addition,
perl-5.10.1 is very old, and should no longer be used. Please upgrade to
perl-5.14.x or perl-5.16.x.
