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

    You can install XML::DOM using PPM all you have to do is type:

    PPM install XML::DOM
    at your command prompt.

    /J\

      Thanks for that I tried that but it doesnt install. Do u know any such repository where i can get the module manually and install it syed
