    Thank you, AM.

    Now (sorry if these are newbie questions) I am using cpanp. So first I go: -u  Alien::wxWidgets.

    Then: a. How do I tell cpanp to look first in http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repo29?

    b. That's a "PPM" repository. Can cpanp simply use it to download a new installation of Alien::wxWidgets?

    Many TIA - Helen

      and here I thought you'd done some of these steps before ... you never give cpanp a ppm repository, cpanp doesn't speak ppm
