    I suppose the obvious question here is have you installed Win32::DriveInfo

    if, at the command prompt, you typed "ppm", then "install Win32::DriveInfo", then 'quit', the answer is yes....

    If you haven't done that, do it (but make sure you've got an internet connection active at the time)

    You might want to check out the Tutorial A Practical Guide to Compiling C based Modules under ActiveState using Microsoft C++, It explains the proper method of installing modules downloaded from CPAN. Along with the ability to install modules not found on the PPM servers, you will also gain an understanting into what is actually going on behind the scenes in a module install. Every win32 user should do it aleast once.

    Thank you,
