> Hi monks, My current www::mechanize is version 0.72 because I installed it using ppm. I am wanting to upgrade it so I can use some function such as "select", "URI" to do more stuff... How can I do this properly? > > I tried to use "upgrade" on ppm prompt, but it has taken minutes and still processing and has not shown me the available upgrades. > > Please kindly advise me > It's pure perl, so you could install from CPAN source ( http://search.cpan.org ) using nmake. You can get nmake15.exe from either : ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe or : http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe Just run the downloaded executable to install nmake to the location of your choice and make sure that location is in your system's path. Then unpack the CPAN source tarball, cd to the folder that contains the unpacked files and run 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'nmake test'. If you're happy with the 'nmake test' results, run 'nmake install'. Looks like ActiveState don't have a ppm of the latest WWW::Mechanize because one of the tests failed or hanged. If the same happens for you, the choice is either to fix the problem, or just install it anyway and hope that the problem is not going to affect the things that you want to do. (Sometimes test failures arise from bugs in the test scripts, rather than bugs in the module being tested.)
