This error
C:\>ppm repo add C:\LocalRepo MyRepo ppm repo failed: The repository URL must be absolute or a local direct +ory
probably has to do with the different syntax for different versions(I use 5.8x) of ppm.Either of the following should work
ppm repo add MyRepo C:\LocalRepo
if not then
ppm repo add C:\LocalRepo
here you can access the repo with a numeric identifier listed by
ppm repo
The other error
C:\Perl\eg>perl stocktick.pl nsdq goog Can't locate HTML/TableExtract.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site +/lib C:/Pe rl/lib .) at C:/Perl/site/lib/Finance/Quote.pm line 38. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/Finance/Quote.pm + line 38. Compilation failed in require at stocktick.pl line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at stocktick.pl line 3.
It means the module HTML::TableExtract is missing and some script (it may even by any of the libraries you are using ) needs it.Install the module the same way you install Finance::Quote.

The world is so big for any individual to conquer
