Thanks Joshua for your suggestion and to Bill Luebkert for his similar suggestion (email'd directly to me).
When I click the DOWNLOAD link on CPAN I get a "not authorized" message. Bill's suggestion was similar, except he provided a specific url to download, and that one downloaded OK. I have a feeling it's the same path I would have gone to by clicking the SOURCE link from the CPAN search page instead of the DOWNLOAD link. Sorry if I misinterpreted yours, Joshua. I created a new directory called C:\Perl\PPM Repository, downloaded the source from http://search.cpan.org/src/JPEACOCK/Math-Currency-0.44/lib/Math/Currency.pm, and ran the ppm install command. C:\blah-blah-blah\Perl>ppm rep Repositories: [1] LOCAL [2] ActiveState Package Repository [3] ActiveState PPM2 Repository [4] UWINN [5] CPAN [6] perlmonks 5.8 C:\blah-blah-blah\Perl>ppm rep desc LOCAL Describing Active Repository 1: Name: LOCAL Location: C:\Perl\PPM Repository Type: Local directory C:\blah-blah-blah\Perl>ppm install Math::Currency <==================== Searching for 'Math::Currency' returned no results. Try a broader search first. The file I downloaded is called Currency.pm. No mention of the Math qualifier, at least not in the filename. Also, the ppm doc is relatively copious, but the author does not explain some of the terms he uses. He mentions that "...You can specify a full URL to a PPD file [I don't know what that is]; the URL may point to a PPD file on your computer...". The file that I downloaded is called 'Currency.pm'. Do I have to do something to turn Currency.pm into a PPD file? Do I have to do something to qualify it such that ppm knows it's Math-Currency?

Then using your local repository. This should be feasible. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Richcreek Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 10:08 AM To: activeperl@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: Install Math::Currency I want to install a package called Math::Currency, but it isn't found in any of the repositories I have specified on my system: C:\blah-blah-blah>ppm rep Repositories: [1] ActiveState Package Repository [2] ActiveState PPM2 Repository [3] UWINN [4] CPAN [5] perlmonks 5.8 C:\blah-blah-blah>ppm search Math::Currency Searching in Active Repositories No matches for 'Math::Currency'; see 'help search'.
