Hello Perl Monks,

I had developed my perl script which parses xml documents on Windows operating system with active state perl.

Another team found the script usefull and wants to use it but they live on hp-ux.

When I tried to run my script on hp-ux I found that XML::DOM is not present. I searched cpan and quickly got the module. But the build failed. because none of the dependencies were persent. When I tried to download the dependencies more dependencies came up.

I tried running ppm3 but was greeting with message "sh ppm3 not found"

It was a terrible embarasment, I feel tremendous rage at *unix* for being such a nudist OS. Why don't they have an activestate like distribution? where I all basic modules are installed. and ppm is there?

Please tell me how to get XML::DOM easily.

regards, Sethu
