I am trying to install a CPAN module Statistics::ChiSquare. I am running Strawbwerry perl and Padre on my Windows 7 machine. First I installed cpan.pm. An then tried to install the module, but got the following error:

C:\Windows\System32>cpan App::cpanminus

C:\Windows\System32>perl -MCPAN -e 'install Statistics::ChiSquare'
Set up gcc environment - 4.4.3
Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.

Thanks

For Windows, you have to use double quotes on the command line:

perl -MCPAN -e "install Statistics::ChiSquare"

or simply 

cpan Statistics::ChiSquare

  • Thanks. It worked! However I have another issue. Padre couldn't find this module. When I searched it was not part of @INC. Instead it was still under C:\.cpanm. Thanks – user466663 Jan 26 '13 at 18:56
