Guys, seems nobody remembers how we did it about a year ago, so this is the way: download the ppm file with a regular browser to your hard drive. I don't remember where I got it (that's why I did not post this before), it was some unpublished path on either dada.it or sorceforge, but I still have it so I uploaded it to my perl site - you can get the still current 558 at www.fairymails.com/perl/ (click where it says Win32::GUI)
Unzip the stuff somewhere. Open a dos window and go to this somewhere. Type ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd Note the .ppd - this directs the ppm script to look for a local file instead of a repository. I remember a few issues with a mysterious version 0.1, available for some time at AP. If you installed that, it would refuse to be updated with the numerically smaller version number of 0.0.558. Just to make sure, you can do a ppm query after installation. If the version is not 0.0.558, do ppm remove Win32-GUI and then ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd again. Hope this ends this thread :-) Harald
