I am new to the Perl. I've downloaded HTML-TreeBuilder-XPath-0.14.tar.gz
I want to know how to install it.
I am using Windows.
How to include this in my perl script?
I've opened cpan
using run command and installed HTML-TreeBuilder-XPath-0.14 using the command install HTML-TreeBuilder-XPath-0.14
, but I got the following error:
Writing C:\Perl\cpan\Metadata
Warning: Cannot install HTML-TreeBuilder-XPath-0.14, don't know what it is.
Try the command
i /HTML-TreeBuilder-XPath-0.14/
to find objects with matching identifiers.

The easiest way that i found to install any perl module is :
Step 1 : open your os terminal
Step 2 : change path to bin folder path. example(windows) -> cd C:\Strawberry\perl\bin
Step 3 : now run a command : perl cpan
Step 4 : type below command to check installation is working or not. example(windows) -> install App::cpanminus
Step 5 : now for installing any perl module do like this(for Convert::EBCDIC module) : example(windows) -> install Convert::EBCDIC
Awesome, you are done!!

You need to give the module name, not the distribution name:
install HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath
You don't need to download the distribution first, cpan
will do that for you.

Its easiest if you just run the CPAN shell from your machine ( type "cpan" ) and then just type "install HTML-TreeBuilder-XPath-0.14" from that shell.
It will go off and find the module and take care of the installation.
To then use it in your script just add:
use HTML-TreeBuilder-XPath-0.14;
before you make use of it
