    If you can't find one, /msg me your email address and I'll send you a ppm package of Text-Iconv-1.7, built against libiconv-1.11.

      Hi, i want to install Text::Iconv , but not to able to get it on my machine. I am not able to find a repository that contains the Text::Iconv for ppm. Please enlighten me on how to install the module manually (through perl Makefile.pl) and the required dependencies.
        Assuming you're running perl-5.10, you can install Text-Iconv-1.7 with:
        ppm install http://members.optusnet.com.au/~sisyphus1/Text-Iconv.ppd
        If you really want to build from source you'll need the libiconv library, a make utility and a C compiler. For ActivePerl, you can install both a suitable make utility (dmake) and a suitable C compiler (the MinGW port of gcc) by running:
        ppm install MinGW
        Cheers,
