in thread Can't install CPAN modules on XP

Thanks, sounds good. Just checked and the perl package manager seems to work. It can't find a module I need, though. Any idea why? It's this one: http://search.cpan.org/~kilinrax/HTML-Strip-1.06/ It doesn't show up and HTML-Strip in PPM and if I search for the author (Bowley) I only get one of his 3 modules on CPAN: HTML-SyntaxHighlighter. Does PPM only offer a limited subset of the modules on CPAN? Do I need to add some repository or another?

      Added the repository, installed the modules, tried the script that uses them, everything seems to work fine.

      Thank you for the quick help, everyone!
