On unix machines you typically install modules like this: `perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SCP' # Or perl -MCPAN -e 'shell' install Net::SCP` [download] But since you are on a windows machine you should use ppm, which is provided with activeperl. `ppm install Net-SCP` [download] Note that ppm likes Net-SCP instead of Net::SCP	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The majority of CPAN-modules on a Windows machine can be installed without problems through use of CPAN. I only used `ppm` for modules which need to be run through a C-compiler. Since ActiveState Perl now recognizes the MiniGW environment, you can even compile such modules through CPAN!
