how to Run 'Build installdeps' to install missing prerequisites

Question

Trying to run a Build.PL file and get following, and not uncommon error message: ``` Checking prerequisites... build_requires: ! Test::Most is not installed recommends: * HTML::TableExtract is not installed * Math::Random is not installed * YAML is not installed ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES. You may wish to install the versions of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation Run 'Build installdeps' to install missing prerequisites. ``` however when I run: ``` perl Build installdeps ``` I get: ``` Can't open perl script "Build": No such file or directory ``` anyone have any ideas of what I'm doing wrong here?

Accepted Answer

`Build` is a script that is generated after you run `perl Build.PL`. You can execute it without Perl.

Just run:

```
Build installdeps
```

Or (depending on your OS):

```
./Build installdeps
```
