Unzip to (example) c:\gui\. cd c:\gui. type: c:\>ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd
Basically, you leave out the location part and actually cd to that folder from your shell. make sure you put the file extension, so that ppm knows to load it from the local machine instead of getting it from a repository. As I said, I had to do this at my old job and was able to install 10+ modules in this manner on 7 machines. BUT, one other thing to note is what version of PERL are you running? 5.005_3 does not have a ppd file for Win32::GUI 0.0.558 and ( Someone correct me if I am wrong) you cannot build Win32::GUI 0.0.558 under the older builds of Perl. This MAY be why you got the 0.0.502 version since the ppm can tell what version of Perl you have and install the appropriate module. If you have perl 5.6+, you should be able to "ppm install Win32::GUI" and it will install correctly from the AS repository. If not, you are probably limited to 0.0.502 unless you upgrade. > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Eisengrein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 09:15 > To: 'perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net' > Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak? > > > I've tried to install via ppm from the zip file but always > get "Could not > locate a PPD" error.
