Trying to install modules with Perl

Question

I use Strawberry on windows and I'm trying to install couple of modules (PDL::Lite,PDL::Basic,PDL::MatrixOps,PDL::LinearAlgebra and Math::Random).

I was able to install through CPAN the modules PDL::Basic, Math::Random. I had an error message (error code 129, while making '..\\blib\\arch\\auto\\PDL\\LinearAlgebra\\Trans\\Trans.dll'; and error code 255, while making 'subdirs') when trying to install PDL::LinearAlgebra.

cpan> install PDL::LinearAlgebra

I couldn't find PDL::Lite and PDL::MatrixOps so I downloaded them, but when i try to use gzip -d PDL-2.007.tar.gz in the directory C:\\Users\\home\\Downloads, it says 'gzip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I do have winzip on my computer. I can manually unzip the file, but then I don't have 'tar' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I hope someone can help me with that

Thanks

You didn't read the README :

DEPENDENCIES

This module requires PDL and working BLAS and LAPACK libraries.
