I'm note sure whether this question should be posted here, but I'll just go ahead. Please redirect me if it shouldn't.

I am working with Active Perl 5.8.8 (build 819) under Win32. I want to install modules to a user-defined area. I followed the instructions on the ppm manpage, and it seems to work. The HTML docs are generated from the pod source, and the documentation table of contents perltoc.html is opened for write access (an error occurs if writing access is denied), but the TOC isn't changed, and the new manpages aren't linked into the TOC.

I am very sure that file and directory issues are not the reason. This is because, using (restrictive) default permissions, error messages are displayed. I even tried to install the module under Administrator account, with the same effect. Any ideas?
