      use PPM to install perl modules on windows. The instrucation are included with activestate perl distribution or you can read them on their website.

                      Hi rag84dec,

                      Unfortunately, I do not really have anything to add to this discussion. It might be something with your specific environment. It might be with your installation of ActiveState. It might be with your setup of the ppm. Do have have repositories configured?

                      Setting up a programming environment is not something that is easy to diagnose remotely. There are just too many variables. Even with helpful error messages, it's often the one thing that you don't share that is the problem.

                      All I can share with you is my experience with the ppm. I run the gui. Once it loads up I right click on any module and select "Install BLAH". I then do File->Run Marked Actions, and the package is installed without any further effort on my part.

                      I once added some repositories to the default listing, but I just used the ones provided in the link above. As far as what your problem is, I can't even begin to guess. Just know that the ppm is supposed to make this extremely easy, so if it's not, then "something" isn't right.

                      Good Luck,
                      - Miller
