Try: ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Win32-TaskScheduler.ppd That will give you version 0, however ... not the latest 2.0.3. Randy Kobes (who takes care of the uwinnipeg repository) will often update to the latest version ... if asked politely. Having downloaded (and unzipped) the 2.0.3 package from CPAN it seems that if you were to cd to the TaskScheduler/Win32-TaskScheduler-58 folder (which contains 2 files - 'Win32-TaskScheduler.ppd' and 'Win32-TaskScheduler-58.tar.gz') and run: ppm install Win32-TaskScheduler.ppd then you may well end up with version 2.0.2. If you were to change the '<codebase href...' line in that ppd file to simply: <CODEBASE HREF="Win32-TaskScheduler-58.tar.gz"/> then , when you run 'ppm install Win32-TaskScheduler.ppd' (from that same directory), that should instead install whatever version it is that's in Win32-TaskScheduler-58.tar.gz. (With any luck, that will be version 2.0.3). The way the source package is set up is a little unusual - which may well be the reason that PPM's are so scarce - and I can't build it from source as I don't have the mstask headers and library.
