in thread need help setting up an existing perl program in windows

Thanks Corion!

hmm ppm MinGW gives me "Unknown or ambiguous command"

I'm sorry I didn't mention that I did try ppm, like this in the beginning:

ppm install Win32-API ppm install Win32

But that didn't resolve this issue. I try ppm search Win32::Printer and there is nothing found, I try ppm search Win32 and there are many items displayed but none that have "Printer" in the name

So it seems I am still stuck here.

    How about ppm install MinGW -- you neglected to include the command.

    Update: Missed that parent was just following instructions listed. Nothing to see here.

      Error: Package 'MinGW' not found. After I saw that, I tried what Corion had posted, literally 'ppm MinGW'
