MIME-Lite installation on window

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monk I have down loaded a MIME-Lite.zip file in my computer which is running Window XP. After extracting the 'zip' file, I followed the 'readme' file to install the module with following command: ppm install MIME-Lite.ppd, however I got the following error message: Error: no suitable installation target found for package MIME-Lite. Please help and thank you

You've downloaded a PPM package that is unsuitable for your build of perl - eg you downloaded a PPM package for perl 5.6, but you're running perl 5.8 (or something like that). Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Not an answer to the error message, but since you're using ActiveState's ppm, there's no need to download a zip file; rather, from the command line: `ppm install Mime-Lite`	[reply] [d/l]
