Re^2: Getting error while running file

Hi, I am using Active Perl Windows. I could not find exact steps to install Tty module using ppm commands.. Could you please let me know the steps how to use these commands? Where should the module extract IO-Tty-1.02 folder be placed to run ppm commands for installing Tty module? What do we refer here as a package - the extracted folder or the zipped file?? Thanks.

Well, I'm not the best person to answer this question as I never use ActiveState or ppm. But as I understand it, you don't need the CPAN download in order to install a ppm module, you simply type `ppm` at the command line and then `install IO::Tty` at the ppm prompt. ppm will then go and get everything it needs from the Activestate module repository. You can get more information about ppm on the Activestate web site. Update: It seems from the other discussion that you started on this subject that IO::Tty isn't available from ppm. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
