Aha! I just found out that ActiveState uses the ppm thingy instead of the manual method. I just d/l the latest Win32 ActiveState, installed it and used ppm3. Installation was a breeze. But for two days I have been trying to use make, nmake or dmake. I could not find a reference to make at the AP site, whenever I tried to search, the engine would break. Maybe too many returns...
I only noticed the AP helpfile when I did this latest install, and it clearly explains how to install packages in the document. But I still could not get the Perl under NT to run make, nmake or dmake, so I just copied some of the extracted modules over to the server, set them in the path and they *seem* to be working fine. Someone else mentioned that NT does not come with a native compiler, so I will have to install a C compiler to compile the modules before running make. This sounds overly complex, but now that I have the modules working, maybe I am up to it. I have not touched C for a while... "Scott R.
