Re^5: XML-DOM installation on Windows

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
[download]

--Solo --
Now let's blow this thing and go home!

My ppm doesn't connect to any external site. :'-( I am behind a proxy which is configured in a very funny way by our administrator. All my efforts to make a perl program talk to internet via that f&^%$(*& proxy have failed. I have raised this question in another thread. Even after settings the 3 required environment variables which the faq suggests ... my PPM goes no where. HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.mycompany.intranet:8080/ HTTP_proxy_pass=user HTTP_proxy_user=password regards, Abhishek.	[reply]
