Another option is to grab the ppd file directly from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ as well as the corresponding archive from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/ (with names like, respectively, WhatEver.ppd and WhatEver.tar.gz), edit the ppd file to reflect the locally saved location of the .tar.gz file, and then install locally: C:\ ppm WhatEver.ppd As for Win32-IE-Mechanize, not all the tests passed (which explains why it's not in ActiveState's repository); however, I put up a ppm package of it in our repository. -- best regards, randy ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

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.) On my system, the tests that failed had to do with connecting to a live server; the failures may have been due to changes in the content from the server that the tests expect. All of the non-live tests passed. Rob's advice about getting 'nmake' and subsequently installing pure Perl modules yourself is good, so that one doesn't run into delays like this. If desired, though, I put up a current WWW-Mechanize package in our repository at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/. -- best regards, randy ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
unsetting the proxy server
Just out of curiousity... Is there anyway that I can unset the proxy server. When I set it at first, I use c:\ set http_proxy=http://proxy:port c:\ set http_proxy_user=domainName\loginID c:\ set http_proxy_pass=xxx Then, I read more information on how to do it using environment variables. When I am using my machine on different environment that does not use proxy, I have an error that looks something like this: Bad hostname 'http://proxy:port' I tried to delete the environment variables, but it still outputs the error. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thanks in advanced.

upgrading www::mechanize
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.

unable to download Crypt-SSLeay
I am trying to download Crypt-SSLeay to support https URLs so I won't get error like 501 Protocol Scheme 'https' is not supported. I encountered the following error : Failed to download http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd : 500 Server closed connection When I tried to do this ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd My hunch this is something to do with my proxy based on my previous experience with LWP when it encountered 500 Server closed connection. If so, how can I specify my proxy host on the prompt? I also tried to go CPAN website but the page for Crypt list can't be found.

LWP : 500 Server closed connection without sending any data back
Hello everyone,
I have installed ActiveState Perl on my computer, and it has LWP version 5.803.
(I use perl -MLWP -le print (LWP-VERSION)
Right now, I am trying to learn to use LWP. However, LWP doesn't seem to work.
I tried to run a simple program with the following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP;
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent-new( );
my $response = $browser-get(http://www.oreilly.com/;);
print $response-header(Server), \n;
When I ran it, it doesn't output anything.
I tried different codes:
!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use URI::Escape;
foreach my $word (@ARGV) {
next unless length $word;
my $url = 'http://www.altavista.com/sites/search/web?q=%22'
. uri_escape($word) . '%22kl=XX';
my ($content, $status, $is_success) = do_GET($url);
if (!$is_success) {
print Sorry, failed: $status\n;
} elsif ($content =~ m/AltaVista found ([0-9,]+) results?/) { # like 1,952
print $word: $1 matches\n;
} else {
print $word: Page not processable, at $url\n;
}
sleep 2; }
use LWP;
my $browser;
sub do_GET {
$browser = LWP::UserAgent-new unless $browser;
my $resp = $browser-get(@_);
return ($resp-content, $resp-status_line, $resp-is_success, $resp)
if wantarray;
return unless $resp-is_success;
return $resp-content;
}
This will output: Sorry, failed 500: Server closed connection without sending
any data back
Same output for entering this on command prompt: perl -MLWP::Simple -e
getprint 'http://cpan.org/RECENT'
Please kindly advise on how to solve this problem.
Thank you in advanced.
Regards,
Irma Nugroho
