    <p>You need to go to the PPM and install the <a href="http://www.hamm.cx/perl/lib/ActiveState/CPAN.html" rel="nofollow">CPAN module</a>.</p> <p>Then, go to your command line, and run <code>cpan</code>. Then <code>install Finance::TickerSymbols</code>. ActiveState's <a href="http://www.activestate.com/blog/2010/10/how-install-cpan-modules-activeperl" rel="nofollow">cpan will check whether or not you need MinGW installed</a>, and install it if necessary. After that, it will download and build the <code>Finance::TickerSymbols</code> module.</p> <p>If that doesn't work, use the <code>use lib</code> pragma in your Perl script to specify the directory where these modules should be loaded from:</p> <pre><code>use lib qw(/usr/lib/perl5/5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8); </code></pre> <p>Yes, that's right, the module is actually in <code>/usr/lib/perl5</code>. If you look at your output, you'll see that the modules are built in <code>C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\ar\.cpan\build\</code>, but if you look at the end of the log, you'll see they're being installed in <code>/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8</code></p> <pre><code>Running make install Installing /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/auto/Finance/Currency/Convert/autosplit.ix Installing /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/auto/Finance/Currency/Convert.pm Writing /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/auto/Finance/Currency/Convert/.packlist Appending installation info to /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/msys/perllocal.pod /bin/make/install -- OK </code></pre> <p>The final thing you can do (if nothing else works) is switch to <a href="http://strawberryperl.com/" rel="nofollow">Strawberry Perl</a>. This comes with everything you need to use the CPAN modules. It's what Larry Wall uses. Strawberry Perl has no trouble installing that module from the CPAN archive.</p>
