How to install GD

[*Tom*]

I'm trying to install the GD Perl module on my computer, but I'm really confused as to how to do it. I've spent hours searching online but can't find a step by step guide that i can follow.
I'm running windows XP SP2, with Apache server 2.2.3, and ActivePerl 5.8.8 which are all working fine as they are. I've downloaded gd-2.0.34-win32.zip, but I don't know how to install the contents as a Perl module

Does anyone out there know what I should be doing?
Thanks for any help

Hi!

You should just be able to use the perl package manager that comes with
ActivePerl 5.8.8. Try

\perl\bin\ppm.bat

(or wherever your perl binaries are) or:

perldoc ppm

Or if that doesn't work, you might try using the CPAN shell directly:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install GD

or (again, for activeperl):

cpan GD

Good luck!
