Open your ActivePerl HTML documentation and locate PPM in the "ActivePerl Components" section of the TOC. Scroll down to the "PPM, Proxies and Firewalls" paragraph. It's explained there: NOTE: If none of the changes in this document work for you, you may download individual packages from here [ActivePerl 801 and later] or here [ActivePerl 613 and later] or here [ActivePerl 522 and earlier] and install them according to the directions in the README file contained within the ZIP file. If you want, you can also keep a local repository, with several .ppd files in a permanent repository directory, and their .tar.gz files in an x86 directory beneath that. -- felix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
