Re^4: Win32::API in perl v5.20.2

I am unable to follow your instructions. No problem downloading your link file with IE. When I click on your "download", IE downloads the file as a .mht file which contains your text surrounded by a lot of markup which I do not understand. If I tell IE to SAVE AS .pph, it only changes the .mht to .pph. The resulting file does not work/

C:\Users\Bill\Perl>ppm install Tk.ppd --force
No Perl script found in input
[download]

If I create the .ppd file by pasting into gvim, the result is exactly the same.

The ppd file needs to be exactly as it appears in my post - no extra garbage. And both that file and the tarball need to be in the current working directory. I can copy'n'paste the ppd file or "download" it just fine - and I've absolutely no idea what's causing your difficulty in that regard. But the original problem should now be fixed (as I reported yesterday), so you should now be able to successfully run: ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Tk.ppd --force Cheers, Rob	[reply]
