I think that's due to the Win32-ActAcc package at http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-ActAcc.ppd specifying that the "Win32-OLE" package is a prerequisite. However, Win32::OLE is contained in the "libwin32" package: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/module/Win32::OLE which is shipped with ActivePerl, so you should already have it. This problem probably arose when making up the ppm package by assuming the specified prerequisite module Win32::OLE in the Makefile.PL is found in a package name obtained by the substitution s/::/-/g on the module name; this works most of the time, but not always. To workaround this, you can give the command-line "ppm install" a "--nodeps" option to install a package without resolving dependencies. -- best regards, Randy Kobes _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
