Rocco or anyone else willing to help, I also tried your nmake suggestion (without success).
Downloaded nmake15.exe from http://poe.perl.org/?Hot_to_use_wincvs_to_get_poe and executed it to extract the two files. My first surprise was that instead of the promised help file I got an nmake.err file, but I didn't think this would stop me. Then I extracted the tar.gz file in a directory and ran its makefile.pl. I got one "Failed" message on Filter::util::call saying that "needs 1.04". I wasn't sure where to get that one from, but continued hoping that the rest would install. Could you please tell me what to do about this message? After this I got all kinds of errors from nmake about connecting to the URLs, probably because I am behind a firewall. (I had the same problem with the POE.ppd file, but overcame it by editing the pointer in the POE.ppd file to the files that I downloaded with my browser.) This, however, seems to be more involved, so I wonder whether there is a better way of doing it? I will also try it from home tonight where I don't have a proxy. Is there a better way of doing this?

You're beyond my Windows installation knowledge now. I hope someone else on the list can answer it. You might also try ActiveState's bug tracker, which should be somewhere on their site. > Thanks for that link, that's where I am getting this from. > The instructions are not too detailed... at least they don't > cover my situation.

I'll update the page. -- Rocco Caputo / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / poe.perl.org / poe.sf.net
