To download/install PPM's with Floppy or other media: Assumption: "a:\" is your local directory with the modules. This can be any directory you'd like.
1. Download .ppd file and .tgz file for modules (from ActiveState and other repositories). Save to a:\. 2. Modify the CODEBASE tag in the .ppd file to point to the correct location of the .tgz file. 3. Type "ppm rep add a:\". This creates a "local" repository pointing to the a:\ directory. 4. Type "ppm install MODULE-NAME". This installs the module. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/PPM/Zips is a good link for PPM Zip Archives.

Thenks for everybody who helped me! It works! :) One question more: How can I download a perl module (whit ppm) to save it to a floppy, and install it on a machine, where isn't internet connection? (I don't understand why isn't it installed when win32::SerialPort is in the base, and it uses the win32::Api "perl moulde", and so SerialPort can't work... I think win32::API should be installed per default...) Sandor Scott Campbell wrote: > > Win32::API is a "perl module".
