Lab::VISA installation using Windows 7

[chucklest]

I am trying to install Lab::Visa using strawberry perl and I get the following error. What am I doing wrong? I am a novice to perl and Visa module.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

I tried following the instructctions from the link here, however the path to visa32.lib seems to be correct in my Makfile.PL.

I moved your post from the LabVIEW board bit I'm not sure your post belongs anywhere on the NI forums. This Lab::VISA is not an NI program and is no way supported by NI. The same is true of your strawberry Perl. The only thing that would be supported is an installation of NI-VISA and you haven't even mentioned what version of that you installed. The versions listed on that link are pretty old.

I am using NI-VISA 15.0.1. I am trying to get this perl module installed http://search.cpan.org/~akhuettel/Lab-VISA/lib/Lab/VISA/Installation.pod but I always get this unreferenced error.

Contact whoever wrote this LAB::VISA. Send pretty pointless making references to errors generated by some odd third party developers.
