Trouble installing/running active perl for CGI under PWS??

2000-12-20 Thread Shawn O'Dea
No matter what I did (basically unstalling both and reinstalling PWS first) the install script would not let me into the last two check boxes for installing script mapping for Activeperl or PerlIS. The result was that when the registry entry refered to below was added all that happened when the s

Improved PPM repository

2000-12-20 Thread brianr
This is an excellent improvement, and much appreciated. However, can we expect the PPM repository to track CPAN in terms of keeping up to date with the latest versions? The reason I ask is that the version of perl-ldap in the PPM repository is 0.15 and on CPAN it is 0.22. It might help if the sta

Don't use double quotes unless you want in type more escape characters. Use single quotes instead, it uses exactly these characters (not really the best description). Double quotes allows for variables to be interpreted... which you don't need in this instance. >> my $file_to_get = '\\PC332\\C$\\
