gang, Tried using ppm:
# PPM> install --location=http://www.roth.net/perl/packages Win32-AdminMisc Install package 'Win32-AdminMisc?' (y/N): y Installing package 'Win32-AdminMisc'... Error installing package 'Win32-AdminMisc': Could not locate a PPD file for package Win32-AdminMisc OK, checked out: # ppm with proxy/firewall; http://aspn.activestate.com//ASPN/Reference/Products/ActivePerl/faq/ActivePe rl-faq2.html#ppm_and_proxies Tried setting the env variables as noted: HTTP_proxy HTTP_proxy_user HTTP_proxy_pass (makes me nervous seeing my password in the clear like that....!) Looks like I need to pursue a conversation with the firewall/proxy admin staff. Not certain what to ask. Do I basically need to id what port allows incoming <insert_protocol_here?> Is it http? ftp? or something else? ppm needs a port that will allow incoming what....? I just need to understand better so I can ask... Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
