Hi, I'm not familiar with ActiveState and don't currently use it. On Linux/Unix or in Cygwin under Windows, I use commands of the form
perl -MCPAN -e 'install module' Maybe that will work with ActiveState perl too. On Linux/Unix and Cygwin I also use FTP directly to get the modules I want from CPAN, unbundle, build and install them manually and that's my preferred method because then I have the best idea about what really got installed and what and where are its sources. -tristram -----Original Message----- From: ramakrishna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 9:34 AM To: Tristram Nefzger Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Problem with installing PPM Hi, My machine is connetced to Internet through Proxy. when i tried the options, C:\>ping ppm.activestate.com Unknown host ppm.activestate.com.
