beginner - opeing PPM

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using ActiveState Perl v5.8.9 and the only way I know how to open the package manager is to go to a command prompt and type 'ppm' Is there a way to open it from the Start menu or some other shortcut.

THANKS

"I know how to open the package manager is to go to a command prompt and type 'ppm' Is there a way to open it from the Start menu or some other shortcut." Have you looked under the 'Start'->'All Programs' menu? Is there any entries relating to ActiveState Perl? If so there may be an option to launch `ppm` from there. Failing this you could create a Windows shortcut to `ppm`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`Start->Program Files->ActivePerl #.##.# Build ####->Perl Package Manager` You could always make your own shortcut too, with a `right-click->new->shortcut->"ppm"->next->finish`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
