I downloaded this link directly:
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/Win32-DDE.zip

But when I looked inside, the .ppd file said:

<SOFTPKG NAME="Win32-DDE" VERSION="0,0,0,0">

This is the same version that ppm downloaded automatically for me (it had the same size, too).

I still can't seem to find the mysterious 0.02 version.
Remember that ppm said that it exists:

ppm> install Win32::DDE
Searching for 'Win32::DDE' returned multiple results. Using 'search' i

Searching in Active Repositories
  1. Win32-DDE [0.02] Perl extension for Win32 DDE callback
  2. Win32-DDE  [0.0]
[download]

And the Active State web site also seems to think that it exists: ( http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Modules/dist_html?dist_id=9961 )

Any other ideas about finding it (or should I just use 0.0)? Thank you again for your help
