Re^2: Installing Module

Do appreciate the ellaborate response. As suggested, I started the Perl Package Manager and it on its own downloaded Finance::Quote. Now...I have placed stockpick.pl in 'C:\Perl\eg'. When I execute the command "perl stockpick.pl nsdq goog", the following error is generated:

C:\Perl\eg>perl stocktick.pl nsdq goog
Can't locate HTML/TableExtract.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site
+/lib C:/Pe
rl/lib .) at C:/Perl/site/lib/Finance/Quote.pm line 38.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/Finance/Quote.pm
+ line 38.
Compilation failed in require at stocktick.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at stocktick.pl line 3.

So I will attempt the method suggested by you. Where should the command "ppm repo add C:\LocalRepo MyRepo" be executed. When I execute it in C:\>, the following error is generated:

C:\>ppm repo add C:\LocalRepo MyRepo
ppm repo failed: The repository URL must be absolute or a local direct
+ory
[download]

Please advise. Await your response. Best, wirefree

This error `C:\>ppm repo add C:\LocalRepo MyRepo ppm repo failed: The repository URL must be absolute or a local direct +ory` [download] probably has to do with the different syntax for different versions(I use 5.8x) of ppm.Either of the following should work `ppm repo add MyRepo C:\LocalRepo` [download] if not then `ppm repo add C:\LocalRepo` [download] here you can access the repo with a numeric identifier listed by `ppm repo` [download] The other error `C:\Perl\eg>perl stocktick.pl nsdq goog Can't locate HTML/TableExtract.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site +/lib C:/Pe rl/lib .) at C:/Perl/site/lib/Finance/Quote.pm line 38. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/Finance/Quote.pm + line 38. Compilation failed in require at stocktick.pl line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at stocktick.pl line 3.` [download] It means the module HTML::TableExtract is missing and some script (it may even by any of the libraries you are using ) needs it.Install the module the same way you install Finance::Quote.
