Hi,

I've recently been trying to install the Win32::Printer module on Windows XP running ActivePerl 5.8.3 using PPM. And after it says that its installed, it really isnt. There isnt anything in the Perl Win32 Module folder and perl still doesnt recognize it. So I attempted to install it again using PPM but still the same result. Then I tried to just simply copy the file 'Printer.pm' into the correct folder but that didn't work either and gave me the error message:

"Can't locate loadable object for module Win32::Printer in @INC (@INC contains: C :/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at test.pl line 1"    =\

I'm wondering if anyone else has had any problems installing this module or has any idea on what could be going wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks.
