That file is the source code and would have to be installed using the following steps:
cd to the folder you unziped to: perl makefile.pl nmake nmake test nmake install This assumes you have nmake. If not, you can get it from MS ftp. I dont know exactly where it is now, but you could go to MS site and perform a search. OR... http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/win32-gui.zi p. THIS contains the ppd file for install. 1) unzip 2) cd to foldery where you unziped files 3) type "ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd" Can you not install any packages via ppm? If you can, as I said earlier, you can just install directly from AS repository by typeing "ppm install Win32-GUI" and it will download from AS and install. If you CANNOT ppm from AS ( and I doubt it unless you have the wrong installation path in your ppm config) then take off the file name from the URL above and you will see ALL the 6xx build packages available for local ppm install. > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Eisengrein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 10:25 > To: 'perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net' > Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak? > > > Joe, thanks for all your help but, man I'm getting nowhere fast!
