I installed ActivePerl build 623 on my laptop at the end of March (previously it had IndigoPerl). I can see the file: c:\perl\site\site\lib\Net\FTP.pm on my machine, with the same date as the other files in my c:\perl directory. perldoc Net::FTP works too, possibly you have a damaged or old build. If you are getting an error during make or make test, do you have a version of make (typically nmake or dmake) installed? (I've had more success with nmake.) Do you use a proxy to browse the internet? This may account for ppm problems. If so, there's instructions in the ActiveState documentation on how to setup a proxy for ppm. -- Tony
