Hi once again!Recently I tried to explore perl by trying to use the modules in activestate.com.However i could not seem to install the modules onto my computer.All i could do was to unzip the module which i had saved in the lib directory.After which i tried to run the module but always receive a error stating that the system cant locate the Module @INC,is it due to the fact that i never install the module or is it because of some other problems.

I have read somewhere that i could use ppm (for my case it is ppm3 which was found in the bin directory) to install the module.The command i typed was install (name) but i got an error stating that the system cannot find the path specified.What is wrong with my command? Is it the name that i type in? Or is it because the module(lib) and the ppm(bin) are in different directory.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.Thks a lot!!!
