I have reinstalled perl "v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" successfully, I then began installing my modules.
I started with AdminMisc, I do not have unrestricted ftp access, therefore I downloaded the AdminMisc_5006.zip file first, then set the ppm repository to point at LOCAL c:/perlmodules/adminmisc/,and finally amended the win32-adminmisc.ppd file so that all <CODEBASEHREF> lines referring to http::/www.roth.net/…etc to: 
<CODEBASE HREF="c:/perlmodules/adminmisc/AdminMisc_5005_AS.tar[1]" />
<CODEBASE HREF="c:/perlmodules/adminmisc/AdminMisc_5006.tar[1]" />
<CODEBASE HREF="c:/perlmodules/AdminMisc_5005.tar[1]" />

[download]
I tested the installation by “use Win32::AdminMisc;” only in a script containing only this line and received no errors. However when I added “use Win32;” on the next line and ran the script I received a full screen load of errors. And when I ran the script with only “use win32” I received no errors, so it seems that Win32 and AdminMisc modules are conflicting. Has anyone come across a similar problem? Or someone knows a fix?

Many Thanks
