in reply to Install Win32 API library in Perl 5.6.1

If Win32-API-0.46 is acceptable to you, you could install it by running:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/Win32-API.ppd

It looks to me that you're current ppm is accessing the wrong repository - perhaps it's searching a repository of ppm's built for perl 5.8. What does 'ppm set' report ?

Cheers,
Rob

    Thanks for your answer, but this library isnot acceptable for me. I need the Win32-API version. Where can I found it??? Thanks
      I don't understand your objection.
      As it turns out, the version of Win32-API in the uwinnipeg 5.6 repository is the same as in the ActiveState 5.6 repository. I can never find the URL of the ActiveState ppd's - which is why I suggest installing from the uwinnipeg rep (as I can supply the URL for it).

      Cheers,
      Rob
