in thread XML-DOM installation on Windows

Yes I have been to this repository.. (http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/x86/) but unlike others who give one zip file which contains everything, this one contained one ppd and I had to go inside the x86 directory and get the XML-LibXML.tar.gz file.

But the result was the same
Error: no suitable installation target found for package XML-LibXML

regards,
Abhishek

    I think you're in the 6xx builds directory. Have you seen the 8xx builds in http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/?

    Uh... had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

      OK I downloaded the ppd and tar.gz files from the http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ directory for
      LibXML-Common
      XML-NamespaceSupport
      XML-SAX

      Now when i run ppm install XML-LibXML.ppd I get the error

      Missing base argument at D:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/Repository.pm line 174

        It's much easier to use ppm to install the packages directly. You can do this by specifying a location with the install command. If you connect to the internet via a proxy server, then you should first set the HTTP_proxy environment variable. Start a shell (cmd.exe) and type

        set HTTP_proxy=http://yourproxy.fqdn:port

        [download]

        Then, run the command below from the same window (cmd.exe). If the first succeeds, then there is no need to run the second. 

        ppm install --location=http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms XML-LibXML

ppm verify --upgrade --location=http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms XML-
+LibXML

        Now let's blow this thing and go home!
