The mpinstall script uses the getstore() routine of LWP::Simple, so if you have to do something special to get getstore() to work with your settings, you'd have to do the same thing for the mpinstall script. To install things manually, - get mod_perl.ppd from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ - get mod_perl.tar.gz from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/ and place it in the same directory as mod_perl.ppd - get mod_perl.so from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/scripts/ and copy it to your Apache2 modules directory (eg, C:\Apache2\modules) - edit the HREF attribute of the CODEBASE tag in mod_perl.ppd to just read HREF="mod_perl.tar.gz" - run, from the directory where you saved mod_perl.ppd, C:\> ppm install mod_perl.ppd This is all for ActivePerl build 8xx and Apache 2 / mod_perl 2. -- best regards, randy
