    You can use ppm util for installing this module on activeperl. Download the module, put it in any directory ("modules" for example) and write a command: ppm install C:/modules/module_name.ppd
      how do i install the 'use' function in activeperl, when ever i try to use it it says bad command many thanx
        Try This, Open command prompt
        C:> PPM
        .....
        At PPM prompt Type these.
        PPM> rep add LocalPath "C:/YourModulesFolder"
        PPM> s vector
        PPM> install <search Results Number indicating your vectorSpace.pm>
        The other way of doing this is
        C:> PPM install --location=. C:/YourModulesFolder/vectorspace.ppd
        Give it a try and hope it works out.
        regards
        Amar
