in reply to Problems installing new Modules for ActiveState v 5.10

You could download the Module-Name.ppd file after seaching repositories online (See PPM::Repositories or searching via Google) and install via:

C:\location_of_ppd_file\ppm install --location=. Module-Name

Perhaps reading A guide to installing modules for Win32 from the tutorials section would be worth while.

Apparently you can use cpan from Active State Perl.

I tend to carry a mini Cpan Mirror around with me, see CPAN::Mini, which is often very helpful.

Hope this helps
