Tricky question...

Try using PPM first, it is a utility that comes with ActiveState Perl.  It
installs from the ActiveState module repository.

>From the command line...
 C:\>ppm

Once in PPM you can search and install...
 search Foo
 install Foo::Bar
 help

...But not all modules are available this way.

All Perl modules can be found on CPAN (www.cpan.org) and installing them on
Windows may or may not be an issue.  Try PPM first, and if you have problems
where a certain module isn't available via PPM, then ask.

Subject: newbie module question



Hi everyone,

I am really really new to perl.   I know this is dumb but I am using perl in
the win 32 environement (perl 5.8.0 build 804) from active state.  I am
trying to figure out how to install modules.  Where do you get them from?
How do you install them?  Other things I need to know?

Thx again and please no flames I am new to this whole perl thing.
