Hey John,

Thanks for the tips. Itīs all just fine now!

I did search before issuing the install. And my firewall was allowing PPM to go through.

As I was having tons of blue and illegal screens, I decided to cut relationship with my (old) friend Mr Win-98. After I plugged to ADSL connection, he just couldnīt figure out nothing anymore; itīs been almost a week hitting my head on the wall!

Now, with Win 2000 and, as you suggested, 5.8.7 Activestateīs build, I ve installed all the modules smoothly (including your fantastic Spreadsheet::WriteExcel). It seems I had a sistemic problem before, donīt know exectly what was wrong. Anyway, Its solved now with win2000.

Thanks for the help, my friend.

Take care and greetings from Brazil!

André
