Thank you, Bob. I have now downloaded the examples from CPAN (from the web browser, actually, not the CPAN shell).
I was about to say ActiveState has ppm instead of CPAN, but you made me double check and it actually has both. Ran the helpful CPAN shell wizard, I am missing some of the executables like gzip and wget but I know I can find them. ppm doesn't have the look command so it looks like a good idea for me to go ahead and set that up. Thanks for your help.
