Can you install ppm packages from ActiveState's repository? And, from a DOS shell, does C:\> ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd work (for ActivePerl 8xx - do a s/ppms/ppmpackages/ for 6xx)? ActiveState also hosts a ppm mailing list, if this problem persists. -- best regards, randy _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Web mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
