If you're using ActiveState Perl on Windows, visit the PPM page to learn about the Perl Package Manager. It will make your life easier by installing pre-compiled modules for you. The corresponding Unix command line is: `perl -MCPAN -e shell` Then, type: `install Bundle::LWP` and things will work for you straightaway. Building modules on your own is like writing your own kernel, except not as much.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, PPM is a good way to do things with the ActiveState perl. The main thing this is good for is modules which require 'make' and/or a C compiler to build. OTOH, If you want to use funky modules which don't need a C compiler, get a copy of WinZip (http://www.winzip.com) or, although it might be a bit Unixy, GNU tar (http://www.gnu.org). They both understand .gz and .tar files just fine. You can then pull out the .pm files you need and move them over to your site directory.	[reply]

Hi, If you have ActivePerl then you should already have LWP: `C:\>perl -MLWP -le "print $LWP::VERSION" 5.825` [download] Anyway, to answer your question ... to install LWP via ppm: `ppm install libwww-perl` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
