Could you tell me what repository you were pointing to? I can't find it via PPM.

However, as Gaurav pointed out earlier, this won't help installing Math-TrulyRandom, which hasn't been ported to this Win32 environment yet (it also doesn't build with VC++). -- best regards, Randy _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
