in reply to ?PPD?
You might try going to a command line and using the DOS command PATH... this will show all the directories currently registered in you path statment. If the directory holding the PPD files is not displayed in the list, this would be the begining of your problem.
If you did not restart your system after installing the Perl Package Module, then start there and try the same command. If this still doesn't change the path statment, then try puting in the directory manually and trying to start the Package Module. If this still didn't work, then you probably need to reinstall the program. Something messed up enough to wack you out.
To add something to the path manually to your path statment edit your autoexec.bat file and restart the system.
hope that helps, good luck
