title: Manual installation of Perl modules in Windows
body: <p>I have tried (unsuccessfully) many times to manually install a Perl module (Win32-Printer-0.9.1) found in CPAN, but not included in the PPM repository. What I know is that the module must be downloaded and decompressed. I know you have to run the MakeFile.pl that is included.</p>
  
  <p>And I know nmake is involved somehow, but despite trying to follow the directions found online, I've been unable to get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using ActivePerl 5.12.2 on Windows.</p>
  
  <p>I really can't figure out why this would be so complicated!</p>
