in reply to Installing Modules on Windows

K, well, I got PPM to work after setting the HTTP_proxy environment variable...but Win32::IE::Mechanize doesn't seem to be available on the repositories...I added all the default ones that are listed in PPM.

Am I stuck doing this the old fashioned way, or are there other repositories that would have it?

Thanks

      When I do this:

      C:\>ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Win32-IE-Mechanize.ppd

      I get this: ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform

        Win32::IE::Mechanize is a pure perl module, you can install it manually
