Thanks for the immediate response sir. I tried to install the module with the help of "perl -MCPAN -e "shell". But, at the time of installation, it is throwing an error!

    Then act accordingly to the error message to make it install cleanly.

    If you had mentioned the error message, we might have been able to help you, but since the error message seems to be a subject of utmost secrecy, there's naught we can do for you.

      Oh no sir, Here is the message log:
      <<SNIP>> ppm> search Tcl Searching in repository 2 (ActiveState Package Repository) 1. Tcl [0.91] Tcl 2.

      The error message with Windows is:

        Urm... Perl 5.6.1?? You can't even download that perl version any more: the links are dead.

        And I have ActivePerl 5.8.9, and Tcl (0.97-r1) apparently comes preinstalled.
