Using:
Zope 2.6.1
ActivePython 2.2.2
ActivePerl 5.8
zoperl 1.0 beta 5
Procedure
Installed ActivePerl ..... ok
Installed Zope ..... ok
Installed ActivePython in bin directory of Zope ..... ok
Ran "pyppm install pyperl" ..... ok
NOTE: there were a couple hicups in the install.
Could not find try_perlapi.pl or Python-Object,
but finished with pyperl installed successfully. Typed
pyppm verify pyperl, result was pyperl is up to date, so
I assume it is installed.
Following directions for zoperl, it says to Build "zoperl":
At shell:
> cd D:\zoperl
> perl Makefile.PL #unfortunately, there is no Makefile.PL here,
#should there be?
> nmake install #there is an install.PL, should i thry to
nmake it?
#Also, anytime I try to nmake
anything on my computer, it says
#bad command or file name. Is this a
Perl command, or do I need
#to download something to allow me to
namke things?
Inatall "zoperl": #I just go here becasue there is no
Malefile.PL in the root
#zoperl directory.
At shell:
> cd D:\zoperl\lib\python\products\perlmethod\Hack-Names
#There is a Makeffile.pl here!
> perl Makefile.PL
#After entering this, I get to stare at a blinking
cursor for hours with no results.
#Is it doing anything? I don't even see the hard
drive light flashing!
#cntrl+c
The rest of the install instructions are:
> nmake install #see comment about nmake on my computer above.
> cd D:\zoperl\lib\perl
> mkdir D:\Zope\lib perl
> copy Zope.pm D:\Zope\lib\perl
> xcopy /s /f Products\* D:\Zope\lib\python\Products
start the Zope server:
at the shell:
> D:\Zope
> .\start.bat
Obviously, I need help with getting zoperl installed on my machine.
PLEASE help me, I am beyond the point of frustration and all I want to
do is be able to run Perl scripts in Zope.
Thank you,
Robert
