Problem Solved. Use

Okay, the solution is as follows.

As before, use ppm not cpan.

In ppm, use

install log-logger
[download]

not

install log::logger
[download]

I still would like to know how to locate repositories that contain particular CPAN modules, but I didn't have to do that for log4perl, so I guess I'll leave this for another day.

thanks for your help!

thomas.

Hi Thomas, PPM definitely makes installation easier under Windows. In order to find the modules you're looking for, you can type the following at the PPM prompt: `search module_name` [download] So, in the case of your 'log-logger' module, you could type: `search log-logger` [download] and you would get `Searching in Active Repositories 1. Log-Logger [1.01] OO interface to user defined logfile 2. Log-Logger [1.01] OO interface to user defined logfile` [download] To install, you then type the 'install' command along with the name, or number, of the module. In addition, type 'help' at the PPM prompt to get a listing of the commands available. :) HTH, /Larry	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`install Log::Logger` should work aswell... Also, try (re-)installing/upgrading the CPAN module (use install Bundle::CPAN or do it manually). If I read all the previous post then this error occures when the CPAN version you have installed is outdate... It might failt to upgrade it... As a side note, you can find ppm-repositories servers for a module on http://kobesearch.cpan.org	[reply] [d/l]
