[Dxspider-support] windows spider install

[Rick Craig]

I renamed the Perl directory and then installed the new version in c:\perl.
I didn't know if Perl could be installed on top of an old version so I didn't
want to take a chance.

You will also need to install the extensions or "packages" for the specific
Perl distribution that you are installing.  The procedure is described in the
DXSpider Installation Manual, Section 5.5.  In particular you need the
following:

Data-Dumper.zip
Net-Telnet.zip
TimeDate.zip
Time-HiRes.zip
DB_File.zip

They are available 
from  http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/
