Installing Packages in Perl. From what you showed I have to ask. Were you trying to install this manually?

If you were, there are 2 ways in which to do it. The first is with ppm (Perl Package Module). It comes standard with Perl distributions. From your command prompt type ppm. eg. C:\> ppm or C:\Perl\bin\>ppm

It takes a few seconds to launch the gui, however you can add or remove repositories, search for the module to install and let the ppm do the work.

I would not recommend adding the root cpan repository. Perl also comes with a cpan module. Just run cpan from the command prompt. then...

cpan> install GD::Chart

if it didn't find it..

cpan> i /GD::chart/

The results will print the modules found. When I did it it was this:
Module GD::Chart (RDP/GD-Chart-0.05.tar.gz)
Module GD::Chart::Radial (BARBIE/GD-Chart-Radial-0.07.tar.gz)
2 items found

Next you do this:

cpan> install GD::Chart

either way will work.

Edit: if you're using vista you'll need to run cmd from an elevated user. Directory writes are blocked, so run command as an administrator
