Has anyone tried installing the MATH::MATLAB module on a Windows XP,
Netserver (apache+perl+php+mysql) system?

I am having trouble starting the web server when I add the lines in the
config file, as instructed by its install directions. You can find this
module in the CPAN web site.
(http://search.cpan.org/~zman/Math-Matlab-0.07/lib/Math/Matlab.pm)

If anyone can try this out and let me know, it will be super!

Do you have mod_perl ? You haven't mentioned it above, and I think you
*will* need it if you want to make use of the capabilities discussed in the
INSTALL file.

Yes, mod_perl is installed.
The problem seems to be thatI am trying this in Windows. I just saw
somewhere on the website that that has failed for Windows. So, I guess I
would have to try it on Unix. Unless, of course, someone has made it work
for Windows.

Did Math::Matlab build correctly for you ?

According to the 'make test' output (displayed at
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/259622 ) the reason
Math::Matlab-0.07 fails is that, on Win32, the matlab executable is not
located in /usr/local/bin.

It shouldn't be too hard to edit the Math::Matlab source so that
Math::Matlab looks for the matlab executable in the correct location.
A portable fix would have Math::Matlab search the directories in $ENV{PATH}
for the matlab executable. (Wouldn't hurt to file a bug report about this at
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Math-Matlab .)

If Math::Matlab *did* build and test fine for you, then one suspects that
the problem is a mod_perl/apache one - and you should seek help with that on
a list/newsgroup where such matters are on-topic.

Nope

I tried using CPAN. This is what I got: Still can't get it to work :

Writing Makefile for Math-Matlab

Most of the tests for the Server and Remote classes of the the Math::Matlab
package are not run by default.

In order to test them, you will need to set up a server according to the
instructions in the INSTALL file, then edit the 'server.config' file with
the appropriate values and re-run 'make test'. -- OK

Running make test test -- NOT OK
Running make install make
test had returned bad status, won't install without force

I guess that's the root of the problem.

I assume that you can run matlab by entering on the command line:

d:\Applications\MATLAB\R2006b\bin\matlab.bat -nojvm -nodisplay -nosplash

And yet the Math::Matlab build process is unable to do that. Perhaps the
single backslashes are being interpolated as escapes. Try telling the
Math::Matlab build process to start matlab using:

d:\\Applications\\MATLAB\R2006b\\bin\\matlab.bat -nojvm -nodisplay -nosplash
or
d:/Applications/MATLAB/R2006b/bin/matlab.bat -nojvm -nodisplay -nosplash
