You should also check out: Crazy Insomniac . He has a repository and takes requests. But if it is a non-XS module then you should get 'nmake' from the Microsoft site, the instructions on how to do this are in a number of places. A 'super-search' here in the monastery will produce at least one if not more good tutorials on the subject. Don't be daunted, just because youare stuck with Windows doesn't mean you cant play!

BTW - the way module names are constructed - HTML/FormatText.pm will be found in a directory of that name below one of teh directories shown in the environment variable @INC. The clue is to realise that the module itself will be HTML::FormatText. In your case it would seem that somehow a module has been built to a PPM without the dependencies being resolved.
