No you did not. You installed ActiveState ActivePerl 6xx which is Perl version 5.6.1 + some patches. If you want to know the exact version run perl -v Only the PPM installed with it is version 2.1.6. > --I'm thinking that the problem is that I can't get to > --the ActiveState site due to the proxy configuration > --of the company (although I can ping the site). That's possible. If you go to the Start Menu\Programs\ActiveState ActivePerl, click the "Perl documentation" and go to "ActivePerl FAQ\PPM" you should get some info about this. > --Also, do I need to have a compiler to install these? I did > --a search on groups.google.com and someone mentioned that > --I should have one. No. You don't need a compiler if you use PPM. That is the reason of it's existence. Only if you try to install some module directly from CPAN do you need a C compiler.
