Try: `ppm> install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/AI-Prolog.ppd` [download] See http://trouchelle.com/ppm/ for a list of all of the ppm packages that are available there. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

That means the ActiveState ppm repository doesn't have that module. OTOH, cpan does. Use `cpan AI::Prolog`. `Software speaks in tongues of man; I debug, therefore I code.`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

ppm> search * Searching in Active Repositories The system cannot find the path specified. Error: connect: Unknown error............................. Atleast it should show me the packages in repository but it gave me the same error. BTW I tried cpan AI::Prolog I gave me,............................... I gave most of the url of CPAN mirrors even then it gave me this ouptput. Could not fetch modules/03modlist.data.gz Going to write D:\Users\nggm0at\.cpan\Metadata Warning: Cannot install AI::Prolog, don't know what it is. Try the command i /AI::Prolog/ to find objects with matching identifiers.	[reply]

If none works then download the module manually (via browser) and then go through this thread for installing the module. The world is so big for any individual to conquer	[reply]
