problem installing module 2

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

I cannot install win32::Daemon by Dave Roth on active state perl 5.6.
1-ppm does not work. It could not locate the file ppd that is in the rigth place.
2-Ihad put the module in the site/lib/win32 path and I have rebuild the @INC too, but it still not works.
so when I cast the test daemon.pl it is not able to find the module.
I need to put use lib 'path/to/module'?
can anyone explain me step by step?
PS I have read the FM! and also the node 22783.
thanks a lot

Unfortunately, Dave Roth has not put his excellent modules on Activestate, as far as I can tell. Therefore, you need to set your repository to his site woth the command: `c:\>ppm set repository RothNet http://www.roth.net/perl/packages` [download] Evon more unfortunately, the roth.net server frequently appears to be down or inaccessible, so I recommend getting everything at once. -- Regards, Helgi Briem helgi AT decode DOT is	[reply] [d/l]
