Installing Modules

[LenWFTM]

I am totally new to Linux, but have had some success. My DLink USB wireless stick is up and running. Now I am trying to get my cell phone to work and use GPRS. I found a ulitity GPRS_Easy_Connect on line and have tried to install, but get the message that I need the following modules:
GLIB Perl module
Gnome2 Perl Module
Gnome2::Canvas Perl Module
Gnome2:VPS Perl module
GTK2 Perl Module
GTK2:TrayIcon Perl Module

I downloaded Bundle_Gnome2_0.12.tar.gz from CPAN to a folder in /tmp/, read the install instructions, but "perl Makefile.PL" failed.

Can anyone help?

I loathe celphones so I haven't tried that utility but I hope this helps:

- To be able to use Perl, you needto have the corresponding devx file for your version of puppy (search the wiki or the forum for instructions). Perl, make and many other tools are in that file, just copy it to where your pup_save file is.

- If it is a Gnome application you may possibly need a lot of dependencies. Gnome is a BIG desktop environment and Gnome developers make use of all the libraries available to them (and that's perfect if you are using Gnome).
If you still want to go with the Gnome application, I'd recommend searching the forum for a puppified Gnome package provided by MU.

Actually packaging the "right" applications for Puppy is always a balancing act to try to use a standard toolkit so Puppy does not become bloated.
