Dear List, I have installed the required module using PPM(Perl Package Manager) and never had any problem for the past 3 weeks. I didn't even bother to install using the manual way until I had to update the latest version of WWW-SEARCH 2.23. I can't seem to verify and upgrade it using PPM, why is that ? Can't it synchronize with the updates in CPAN?? Perhaps this may seem really really silly to all of you. I sincerely dunno what's going wrong here and I have no one to ask and confirm whether am doing right.I can't afford to mess up with my home PC since I need to complete my project from home. I have tried this as detailed by many ppl . Let me list down my steps: 1. I extracted the .zip file into c:\perl\folder 2. So I'll have the following - c:\perl\folder\www-search-2.23 3. In command prompt c:\> cd\perl\bin\folder\www-search-2.23 c:\perl\bin\folder\www-search-2.23>perl Makefile.PL error: Bad command or file name I believe I have to extract every single file into the c:\perl\bin to run it but it's going to mess up the Perl system files, right ? and I don't wish to do so. Pls help me on this since I can't try out anything which needs new modules and upgrades.Fyi, I 'm running Perl on Win98. Thanks in advance:) Rgds, --- Kingpin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > it doesn't matter where you "run" it.
