    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.

        ok i know this is going to sound stupid lol i have tried your first method and got it to work it gives me a list of packages 1.bit vector 2.bit vector minimal 3 bit vector minimal 4 math vector sort index 5 math vector real i have installed all of them but you said 'PPM> install <search Results Number indicating your vectorSpace.pm>' which got me confused so i tried your 2nd method, i have checked the folder and there is no *.ppd file just the vectorspace.pm file? and once this is installed how do i go about executing it? sorry to be a pain many thanx ABz
