I went into ppm (version 3.1) on an XP box and typed the commands exactly as you (monkfan) have them. It worked fine.

I noticed that the error message in your post says

Error: no suitable installation target found for package List-MoreUtil
(bolding added) although your command said "install List-MoreUtils". It looks like when you typed the command into ppm, you left off the "s" on the end. We all do it sometimes.

Update: I notice holli responded just before me (same minute). I very much recommend his A guide to installing modules for Win32. Which includes his advice above.

Update:Added strikeout. My error. My thanks to marto. In that case I don't have an explanation of why it didn't work for monkfan, assuming the Error message was pasted from the original, rather than retyped.
