Normally the installer will show "C:\Program Files\ActiveState\Perl", or something similar as the location where it will put the package. I change that to "D:\perl" before proceding. The entire tree, including CPAN will be installed at that location. You may have to remove the package and reinstall it to get this done. Don't forget to save off anything you have written or added before you do that. I don't know how careful the installer is about cleaning up after itself. You may have to reboot after the install to get all of the search paths set up correctly. I didn't have to fiddle with anything in the MS-Windows setup afterwards. It just worked.

I have always avoided the "Program Files" default directory when installing anything with a Unix flavor to it. For Perl, everything gets installed at "D:\perl", just to avoid this problem. Even Microsoft applications don't all know how to handle paths with spaces. It was not one of their better innovations.

You may want to try other methods to install the module. http://search.cpan.org/src/SBECK/Date-Manip-5.48/INSTALL -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson Email: http://www.gunnar.cc/cgi-bin/contact.pl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
