Re^3: Installing perl modules

Well this is another option, however we have no idea if the effort of changing Perl distributions is worth the pay off, since the problem seems to be with installing two modules (and perhaps their prerequisites), the OP has not stated how many other running Perl scripts/services there are on this system, or if their system administrators will allow this. It may be that changing distributions is not a viable option at this point.

While I am a big fan of Strawberry Perl, I use it at work a lot, I feel that in these circumstance it may be overkill to suggest changing distributions for what is essentially a small configuration problem.

Thanks

Martin

ok there is no firewall on the server, and when I try to install other modules I recieve the same error "no missing packages to install." I tried to follow along with your tutorial and when I type ppm in the DOS command line a GUI pops up, and in the bottom left corner I only see 54 packets, shouldn't there be 7000 and some? Is this a security issue?	[reply]

Could it be that these modules are already installed? Try running both of these lines from the command prompt: `ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/IO-Socket-INET6.ppd ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/ZipTie-Client.ppd` [download] And let us know how you get on. I previously pointed you towards A guide to installing modules for Win32, which covers the usage of PPM::Repositories. Take a look at the PPM::Repositories documentation. Martin	[reply] [d/l]
