problem installing XML::DOM in windows

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, I am in a big confusion how to install XML::DOM in windows runnning perl 5.8. I copied the .tar.gz file from cpan.org and tried to just copy the .pm files in the lib dir of perl but that didnt work. I need help if I cannot install this file then which one should I go for. Is there any other windows .zip file different for windows installation. Thanks, syed

Hi Use this instead, as the previous would result in multiple package `ppm install XML-DOM` Thanks Sasi Kumar	[reply] [d/l]

You can install XML::DOM using `PPM` all you have to do is type: `PPM install XML::DOM` [download] at your command prompt. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]

when you say "it doesn't install" what happens? It should just work. If you have a network problem that is causing difficulty for you retrieving the package then you can get the file from http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/XML-DOM-1.43.zip /J\	[reply]
