Use ppm (programmers package manager) with activeperl. Type "ppm" at a command prompt, then type "help" for instructions.
If you prefer to use CPAN (comprehensive perl archive network) to install modules/packages (often more are available here) you can use: perl -MCPAN -e shell then at the "cpan >" prompt type: install Module::Name. If you don't have a compiler and header files then CPAN will often fail to work as a lot of modules have to be compiled before they can be used. With ActivePerl, PPM makes many precompiled modules available to you, one of which is Win32::GUI, but others are available. You can use the PPM shell to query certain large module repositories, or you can install a downloaded module from a .ppd file. To install a perl module from a .ppd file, use: ppm install The-Module.ppd at a command prompt. To get a PPM shell, use: ppm You can now enter PPM commands. The only PPM commands I ever really use are: install <module> search <string> the "help" command may be useful for new users.
