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

Dear Monks,

I cannot find this module Win32::DirSize eventhough I have added ALL the known repositories on the Internet!
I downloaded the Win32-DirSize-1.13.tar.gz, but I am not able to unzip it -- I am using EasyZip. Should I be using something else? Am I downloading the right file?
As the very worst choice, I would be glad to get an explanation on how to install it with just the source code (That makes more sense than what the readme file tells me).
Thanks in advance for you help,
Claire

    Use the following PPM repository: http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm

    Using ppm, don't search for Win32::DirSize, search for Win32-DirSize. That seemed to do the trick for me, and I've successfully installed it through ppm.

    Where'd you get a list of repositories?
        http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm is listed there, so what list is Real Perl looking at?
