#3 Makefile.PL fails in windows system

[Anonymous]

OS: windows 2000
Perl version ActivePerl Build 807
module installation -> OpenPlugin-0.112

Depencies for running Makefile.pl
FILE::NCopy - not preinstalled for Activeperl
ExtUtils::AutoInstall - not preinstalled for Activeperl

fix for NCopy: run in command prompt> ppm install File-
NCopy
fix for AutoIntsall: AutoInstall not found in ActiveState's
repository so ExtUtils::AutoInstall module need to be
installed from CPAN archive (using nmake)

Bug: When running perl Makefile.PL

OpenPlugin Driver Installation Screen

I detected dependencies for (3) drivers already
installed on your system.
You may now choose additional drivers to install.

-------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
Plugin | Available Drivers | Install
-------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
Authenticate PAM SMB
Cache File
Config XML Conf
Datasource DBI LDAP
Log ApacheLog DBI Email Jabber Syslo
Request Apache Apache2
Session ApacheSession

[a]dd, [r]emove, [A]dd All, [R]emove All, [d]one: [d] A

None of the options work.. (program repeating above
prompt all over and over)

Possible cause: Windows commmand prompt (dos shell)
stdin format (line end or something) does not match the
regular expression in line 333: while ($action !~ m/^
[ardAR]/) {

I rounded the proplem running Makefile.PL in komodo
debugger wich uses its own shell..

2nd Bug: should allow changing file hierarchy :)
----------------------------------------------
Where would you like to put the OpenPlugin
configuration files?
[/usr/local/etc]
Cannot create /usr/local/etc: No such file or directory at
G:\downloads\perlmodules\OpenPlugin0122\OpenPlugin-
0.112\Makefile.PL line 84, <STDIN> line 5.
# Looks like your test died before it could output
anything.
----------------------------------------------------
Dirty fix: changed the filepath in Makefile to point my
own windows path..
