Re: Installing modules under win9x

the ppm tool does not use PATH or INCPATH etc. it uses its' own config on where to look for modules. the location(s) where to look is/are called repositories. type "help" in ppm and look for commands to do with repositories. by default ppm looks at the activestate repository on the internet.

Intruigingly I have ActiveState perl 5.005_03 at work - and PPM found GD and installed it no worries and I have made my first JPGs and PNGs (yay) - I appear to have all DLLs. However at home I have ActivePerl 5.8 or something to do with 8 (I dont remember but its a rather new installation - didnt realise my work veriosn was so old!) and PPM on that can see a couple of GD-barcode modules and thats it.. no specific GD itself. I will try ALL of the wonderful suggestions above..thanks heaps Monks! GD is quite fun.. next Ill have a look at Tk!	[reply]
