I hope that you did run the installer for AS 5.24. To add modules, the easiest way is to use Active State's ppm (Perl Package Manager). Start this either by using the GUI shortcut that would have been installed in the "Start" menu, or open a command window and type "ppm". That will start the GUI version of ppm. Its pretty easy to use. Select what packages you need and let it install them. If some dependencies are required, it will install them too. You do not have to run a make files or have a compiler. A whole mess of stuff that you would have had to install yourself with Perl 5.6 is already there. From the command line type "ppm query *" to get a list of packages that you are starting with.
