Re: installing LWP::UserAgent on windows

Iam simply testing out LWP, I tried using it to find the latest perl
version, according to the lwp manpage

this command should give me thelatest perl:

perl -MLWP::Simple -e '
getstore "ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/perl/CPAN/src/latest.tar.gz";,
"perl.tar.gz"'

However this is what it says after the first line:

C:\Perl\bin>perl -MLWP::Simple -e '
Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.

it says this error for basically any command I use for lwp
