in reply to Error: Package 'win32' not found

What do you get when you ppm query win32 ?

I got "libwin32 [0.19.1] A collection of extensions that aims to provide comprehensive access to the Windows API." Which makes sense since I'm only on 5.6.1 AS Perl

    The query in ppm uses a glob pattern so it makes sense that it would match lib"win32" since you query was on "win32". Any module name that contains "win32" would be returned. In my case it returns :
