Re^4: Installing perl modules

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?

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]

I ran both of those commands, and I recieve the message: "ppm install failed: 401 unauthorized" for both of the commands	[reply]

Did you try using a search engine to find out what this means? This error still suggests to me that you have some networking issue. 401 means that you are not authorised (This could be due to a firewall or proxy server setting that needs to be catered for, or a network security setting) to access the resource in question. Can you reach the URLs I provided via a normal web browser? If so I have already pointed you towards the relevant tutorial explaining how to manually install a .ppd file. Perhaps you need to re visit the ppm documentation I have liked to, or better still contact your systems/network administrator. Martin	[reply]
