in reply to Installing CPAN XML::XPath Module help needed

If you cannot see the module in PPM then I suspect you are using a Perl 5.8.0 build (8xx series build numbers). If you look at:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Modules/dist_html?dist_id=10024

You will see that the module is available for Perl 5.6 ActiveState release.

A quick journey over to: http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-windows/windows-5.8/XML-XPath-1.13.txt

Will show that this modules fails to build for ActiveState 5.8.0 builds, which is why it is not found when you search PPM.

Hope that helps!

Active State does a very good job of releasing ppm packages for anything that will compile and test okay for their various versions of Perl.

    Well. I just managed to solve my problems. I am running V8. And when I checked the other link listed in the replies it said that the module had failed (XML::XPath) under both 5.6 and 5.8. I wound up using nmake instead of pmake and everything worked like a champ. Thanks for all of your help.
