in reply to XML::XPath installation problemette

I got it to install just fine on Win32 AS 5.8.0, you just need to use PPM3 instead of ppm. It found the module fine and installed it.

I have one additional Repository from the standard AS build, you would add it to yours as such

ppm> rep add Theory http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms

Cheers, JamesNC
Update2:Fixed poor formatting, the just of it was that FYI, it does install and work under 5.8 and the above is the place to find it.

    Thanks guys, looks like I need Perl 5.8 then so I'll maybe see if there are other ways round this or another module.

      You were offered 2 other ways around the problem above. PodMaster showed you where and how to obtain a binary install for AS 5.6.1, and I explained in my update that there is no reason not to install the version from XML::XPath as the module itself in a pure perl module and doesn't need compiling, though if you don't have nmake, you might have to unpack and install the files manually. Obviously PodMaster's solution is easier.
