Here is my setup for AS using ppm:
PPM interactive shell (2.1.2) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> set
Commands will be confirmed.
Temporary files will be deleted.
Case-insensitive searches will be performed.
Package installations will continue if a dependency cannot be installed.
Tracing info will be written to 'PPM.LOG'.
Screens will pause after 24 lines.
Query/search results will be verbose.
Current PPD repository paths:
ActiveState Package Repository:
http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer
Packages will be built under: C:\DOCUME~1\dwagne01\LOCALS~1\Temp
PPM>
Also the three variables needed if behind firewall:
HTTP_proxy=http://internet:80
HTTP_proxy_pass=password
HTTP_proxy_user=userid
Using this under AS 5.6.0 build 623, I am able to download modules to run.
Note: Must make sure your password is up to date and either export if not or
restart to make certain you are current.
Wags ;)

Subject: Frustrated installing modules!?!
I am truly frustrated that I can't even find any documentation on how to
install a module from, say, CPAN! I have activestate's installation of Perl
5.6.1.628 for Windows2000. I downloaded the binary version and have been
learning perl for about 4 months or so. The FAQ's say to use ppm to instal
modules, but after following the instructions for setting up environment
proxy setting variables for WINDOWS NT (not specific for Windows 2000
Professional), the ppm still couldn't connect to the website. Next I tried
the old fashioned make method, but when I type "c:\perl>nmake " I get the
message "'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external
command,operable program or batch file." I searched the entire hard drive,
but there is no nmake or nmake.*
Neither of these methods worked for me and I can't locate any
troubleshooting documentation!
Can anyone help?
