in reply to Where to find Win32::Adminmisc ?

If you download AdminMisc_5008.Zip from ftp://www.roth.net/pub/ntperl/adminmisc/20030714/bin/, extract that zip to some location, cd to that location, and run:

ppm install Win32-AdminMisc.ppd

it should work. (Did for me.)

There's no doubt a way of doing it that avoids having to download that package from the ftp site ... but I'm damned if I could find it quickly. The stuff that Roth provides is worthy of much kudos ... but the way in which he makes it available is simply a pain in the arse.

Cheers,
Rob

    David Roth has instructions on installing his modules on his website - notice a the bottom of the page where you add his site as a ppm repository.
    http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/
    I've used several of his modules installed using these instructions and have never had any problems.

    Kudos to you as I managed to get it installed thanks to your instructions......it's still not working though!! I'm basically copying a script from WIN32 Perl Programming (P28) but there still appears to be a dll missing. I'll pose another question with full details as I'm now baffled - I never thought I'd say this but let me back to Perl on Solaris I know where to find things there! Thanks again.
