    Not really sure what you mean however with the statement "dont know howto install it" i'm going to infer you already have the file.

    So, you can type:

    1. tar -zxvf <filename> (linux)
    2. gunzip <filename>
      tar -xvf <filename> (unix>
    3. use winzip for windows

    Then read the README...

      i took the one for linux :-(
      So where can i find the one for windows ?
        For Windows it's the same package, you just need a different program to unpack the tarball.

        Makeshifts last the longest.

      Because PPM doesnt utilize the ::, it uses - so... `ppm install MIME-Lite`
        Use cpan MIME::Lite anuj
