gnuwin32dl - GnuWin32 Package Downloader
perl gnuwin32dl.pl
Gnuwin32dl can be used to download and install packages from GnuWin32 package download site. The packages must be in setup exe format.
The user is prompted for a pattern to match package names and descriptions with.
Gnuwin32dl searches the Registry for installed module using the pattern to match the DisplayName field (this field is used in the Control Panel under Add/Remove Programs). Matching installed modules are listed.
Gnuwin32dl also searches the list of available modules from GnuWin32 download site. The file names for the modules are matched against the pattern. Only Setup files are included and Gnuwin32dl tries to show only the newest version (though this sometimes fails, since it is only a heuristic approach). The matching file names are listed and the user can choose from this list what to download and install.
The installation process is interactive, showing the Setup programs window.
