in reply to Installing module failure

Yup that happened to me 2 weeks ago, the same error. I then downloaded it from CPAN on my linux computer and it worked like a charm.

You probably don't have that choice (although if you really work with perl a lot it's definitely worth it!!), so try the above links.

Also jenda's article on perlmonth is really clear on this subject and is really easy to understand. That particular article really helped me out a lot.

And if after reading that you still can't figure it out you might ask crazyinsomniac if he can help you, he takes requests ;)

    Hey now 
    Hello and welcome to the Crazy PPM Repository
If you have a Package For Win32, for which a version of is not
provided on ActiveState's package repository,
just drop me a line and i'll see what I can do.
Send email to crazyinsomniac at yahoo.com 
subject: PPM: Foo-bar.0.1 (http://url.to/foo-bar.0.1.tar.gz.)

I do this for fun in my free time, so please be patient.

BE AWARE THAT:
   I generally will not make ppm's out of modules which don't
   successfully pass at least %70 of their own tests.

   I generally will not make ppm's out of pure perl modules.
   What's the point?
   Ex: If a module is entirely written in perl, but requires DBI,
       why would you need a PPM out of it? Just grab nmake.exe,
       grab the module off cpan.org, and install it yourself.
       *You* can then make a ppm out of it, and maintain
       a local PPM repository out of laziness.

    I thank you for saying that, as I will now (in the coming days) update my repositories and associated texts, as well as finally release PPM::Repositories. It still won't be as fancy as jendas repository, but will be fancier than it is now, and it will be easier to understand.

    MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.
