Hi,
if I do a search for Mail::Mailer I get back that its available from
http://www.ActiveState.com/packages:
when I do install Mail::Mailer I get the my previous error.
Strange though, I do 'search Mail' as you suggest - but I do not get the
list you mention, just says 'Packages available from
http://www.ActiveState.com/packages:'
Something is awry!
[I see earlier today someone was having similar grief with ppm install -
see 'ppm> install not working' from [EMAIL PROTECTED]]
