Sounds like the Windows 2003 machine does not have the same repository list as the Windows 2000 machine. See PPM::Repositories. Meanwhile you'll be able to install it via the command line, as described here	[reply]

Tried it from there unless I did something wrong I keep getting errors ("ppm install failed: 404 error" and the other error is "ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides Crypt-DES for Crypt-DES_EDE3" if I try trouchelle site).	[reply]

Can you show us exactly what you tried which failed? Did you look at PPM::Repositories? Is your Windows 2003 the 64bit version?	[reply]

Hey marto, I don't have much experience downloading these modules and installing them so any help would be appreciated. I downloaded the tar file for 5.8 (which is installed) and extracted it into a temp directory. From there where should I go? Should I grab the Crypt directory (with DES_EDE3.pm) in it and copy to the Perl bin directory? Thanks again for the help.	[reply]

Have a look at A Guide to Installing Modules This will give you instructions for Windows including downloading nmake.exe which you'll use in place of "make" in the normal: `perl Makefile.PL make make test make install` [download] process.	[reply] [d/l]

What does "ppm repo list" say? It may be some problem with repositories setup. Also, do you use proxy with HTTP_proxy environment variable?	[reply]
