Local modules installation errors

blackadder has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have reinstalled perl "v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" successfully, I then began installing my modules.
I started with AdminMisc, I do not have unrestricted ftp access, therefore I downloaded the AdminMisc_5006.zip file first, then set the ppm repository to point at LOCAL c:/perlmodules/adminmisc/,and finally amended the win32-adminmisc.ppd file so that all <CODEBASEHREF> lines referring to http::/www.roth.net/…etc to:

<CODEBASE HREF="c:/perlmodules/adminmisc/AdminMisc_5005_AS.tar[1]" />
<CODEBASE HREF="c:/perlmodules/adminmisc/AdminMisc_5006.tar[1]" />
<CODEBASE HREF="c:/perlmodules/AdminMisc_5005.tar[1]" />
[download]

I tested the installation by “use Win32::AdminMisc;” only in a script containing only this line and received no errors. However when I added “use Win32;” on the next line and ran the script I received a full screen load of errors. And when I ran the script with only “use win32” I received no errors, so it seems that Win32 and AdminMisc modules are conflicting. Has anyone come across a similar problem? Or someone knows a fix?

Many Thanks

I'm sorry, you've simply given too little information for anyone to offer a good solution. Were there errors during the installation, as your title suggests, or did they occur when you tried to use the modules, as your post suggests? What were the errors? What is the smallest snippet of code you can write that demonstrates these errors?	[reply]
