I too had problems when I recently tried to install Win32::GUI onto my
Win98 machine. The problem was that was either a problem with the outside
routers or something on Aldo's site, but I doubt it was a problem with the
latter. I discovered this by going directly to http://dada.perl.it in my
web browser. When I did this I did not get Aldo's Perl Site but some
Telecommunications site .. weird huh?
I tried later by doing the following:
ppm install --location=http://dada.perl.it/PPM Win32-GUI
and it worked just fine!!!! I would recommend you first try to browse to
the http://dada.perl.it site and see what you get. If you get Aldo's Perl
site then try the ppm install I showed, otherwise you have bigger problems.

I too am unable to install Win32::GUI. The error message I keep

so my problem is unrelated to Windows 2000. Is the repository
missing a PPD file?

Only the main ActiveState win32-perl-users list.
I had difficulties with PPM too. You could try PPM3. It's beta, but
it's a complete rewrite of PPM. You have to install it separately.
It
could also be that dada.it is down at the moment.
