It looks like you can use ppm. Here is how I did it. 1. run cmd 2. create a directory named perl in your profile's directory (C:\documents and settings\user) 3. run ppm 4. at the prompt type "target set root <DIR>" where <DIR> is the perl directory you just created (example: target set root C:\DOCUME~1\COWENS~1.ISP\perl) 5. type "install <PACKAGE>" where <PACKAGE> is the name of the module you want installed 6. type "quit" 7. enjoy the moduley goodness You will probably need to set PERLLIB environmental variable to the newly create path or hard code the path in with 'use lib' in the scripts. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
