Hi,

Sorry to disrupt prayers and tending the gardens but I have a Perly problem I've never had before and am currently stumped.

All I'm trying to do is install XML::XPath but it won't.

I usually just pop on ppm and everything installs just fine, this is the first (of very many) modules I've ever had a problem with.

I don't have Make or anything so I need the binaries.

I'm running ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 build 631 on NT.

PPM says...

C:\downloads>ppm install XML-XPath.ppd
Installing package 'XML-XPath.ppd'...
Error installing package 'XML-XPath.ppd': Read a PPD for 'XML-XPath.ppd', but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)

Other Perly XML modules have installed and work fine.

Any ideas brothers and sisters?

Thanks,
PerliKnight
