Re^3: Installing Module

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.

+ 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.

The world is so big for any individual to conquer
