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.

Subject: Re: win32::SerialPort problems
Hi!
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...)

Win32::API is a perl module. To install perl modules, you use the
ppm program, which comes installed with ActivePerl. To install this
module, type ppm install Win32-API. You can type ppm -? for more
ppm examples.
