Hi. I am running Apache and mod_perl (Indigo) on a Winnt dev box. I've been unable to install Mason using IPM (yuck). I've also got Activestate (5.6.1 635) on the box -- as this is a recreational development machine, speed isn't an issue and I'd be fine running Mason under Activestate CGI just to learn it. However, Activestate PPM complains it doesn't have PPD file. And perl -MCPAN -e "install HTML::Mason" failed horribly, as did pulling Mason from CPAN and running perl Makefile.pl etc.
I'd very much welcome any suggestions; I am stuck. Thanks.
