What works for me... Running win2k located behind a firewall / proxy..... Download Win32::GUI ppm distribution from sourceforge (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/perl-win32-gui/Win32-GUI-0.0.558-PPM-5.6 .zip) Download to temporary location and expand the zip. Open up a cmd.exe prompt and locate yourself in the expanded directory. use ppm to install the package specifying the file location

(http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-win32-gui/) JB -----Original Message----- As you say, I have a proxy server and for some reason it doesn't allow accesses by ppm. At this point it is probably customary to hit the offending sysadmin on the head with the Camel book, unfortunately I can't since he's the local perl expert. Thanks to everyone for their help.
