Rocco, Thanks for your quick reply. I actually tried ppm3 too. If I do it right after I ran ppm, it says POE is already installed. So I did a ppm3 remove... and ran ppm3 again. The remove would say "Successfully removed..." and then the ppm3 install would say:
"Can't call method 'ok' on an undefined value at c:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/UI.pm line 820, <$__ANONIO__> line23." Is something wrong with my PERL 5.6.1.633 installation then? Thanks for that link, that's where I am getting this from. The instructions are not too detailed... at least they don't cover my situation. Also, I think there is a typo too: "C:\> ppm http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/poe/POE.ppd"; should probably have the word "install" after "ppm", right? I will see if I can get something done with NMAKE, but that will be another new experience for me...

If that fails (as it sometimes does), you can install the tarball the old fashioned way. Get NMAKE.EXE (if you don't already have it) and follow the instructions in the README (using nmake instead of make).
