Installing Win32-IE-Mechanize

perl2008 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Gurus, I need your help.
I was using Mechanize but that didn't do the work (because of javascript) and need to test with Win32-IE-Mechanize. But -- can't install it. Tried as recommended:

ppm install Win32-IE-Mechanize.ppd
[download]

Getting error:

ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this 
+platform
[download]

I have Win32 version of ActiveState Perl.
How can I resolve this?
Thanks.

You're probably accessing a 5.8 repository from 5.10. Find a 5.10 repository with Win32-IE-Mechanize and add it to ppm. This post mentions one. I don't know if it has your package, though.	[reply]

According to the module's page on Kobes' repository (try `[kobes://Win32::IE::Mechanize]` on this site, it produces the link Win32::IE::Mechanize), bottom of the page, the PPM module is only available from their repositories, both for perl 5.8.x and for perl 5.10. You'd better add the appropriate repository to your PPM, and then try to install it. Follow the instructions on the site if on an older perl; but in the newest editions of PPM (the GUI version), it's just a matter of choosing to add a repository you want to add from a dropdown. Which is very nice.	[reply] [d/l]
