Re: Re: cpan and windows2000

Katie, Thanks for the help!
I set my repository to what you mentioned...... Searched for my sought after module...Found it .... but when I tried to install it I got an error message. What did I do wrong?


PPM>search Email-valid
Packages available from http://theoryx5.uw.. PMServer:
Email-Valid [0.13] Check validity of Internet email addresses
PPM>install Email-Valid
Install package 'Email-Valid?' (y/n): y
Installing package 'email-Valid'...
Error installing package 'Email-Valid': Read a PPD for 'Email-Valid', 
+but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thre
+ad)
[download]

What does this mean?
Thanks.... AM

The package you tried to install will not work with Windows, or the Intel x86 (PC) Architecture. The author has stated in the file that there are components in that module that will not work with Windows/x86. See This Page Check out this thread John J Reiser newrisedesigns.com	[reply]
