G'day Gorby,

Firstly, it's important to use the correct name. I knew Mime Lite wasn't a module name. I tried Mime::Lite - that doesn't exist either. Do you mean MIME::Lite? If so, read the start of its documentation:

"WAIT!
MIME::Lite is not recommended by its current maintainer. There are a number of alternatives, ..."

Perhaps you'll want to investigate some of those alternatives.

I don't have ActivePerl. I suspect you've misinterpreted that price: you'll probably get more than 12 months use of a single module for $999. Anyway, I'm sure another monk who does use it, can provide accurate advice on that.

Both the cpan utility and the CPAN module are bundled with the Perl distribution. Try cpan from the command line; if that doesn't work, try perl -MCPAN -e shell. If one of those gives you a prompt, go ahead and try to install your chosen module:

cpan[1]> install Module::Name
