Monks, I have run the ppm line in the command prompt. But it shows an error as follows:

ppm> rep add Local "D:\VelusamyR\Down\PPM Downloaded"
Repositories:
[1] ActiveState PPM2 Repository
[2] ActiveState Package Repository
[3] Local
ppm> quit

D:\VelusamyR\Down\PPM Downloaded>ppm3 install Win32-GUI\Win32-GUI.ppd
Error: no suitable installation target found for package Win32-GUI.
D:\VelusamyR\Down\PPM Downloaded>
[download]

And also i am set the repositary for that particular path shown as above.

Give sugestion in this regards.

My guess is that you have downloaded the zipped package and then unzipped it without recreating the directory structure or you downloaded a PPD for a different version of perl. You should end up with a ppd file and a sub-directory that reflects your perl version and operating system. If you are using Windows and Perl 5.8.x then the subdirectory will be called MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8 You may also want to check that the ppd targets the version of perl that you have. e.g. 5.6.x or 5.8.x You don't need to add the local disk as a repository. You can just specify the file path.	[reply]
