in thread Which method do I use to install a module ?

When I check the ActiveState website for Mail::Box at this link I see Mail::Box v2.012 listed as being available.

And when I type "search Mail-Box" at the ppm> prompt I get the following hits: 

Searching in Active Repositories
   1. Mail-Box                 [2.048] E-mail handling
   2. Mail-Box-Parser-C        [3.003] C parser for Mail::Box

[download]

I don't feel any burning desire to install it on my system, so that's as far as I can go toward helping you on the issue. Make sure that you address your questions in Seekers of Perl Wisdom to the community at large, and not just to me. You will get farther with the help of the collective wisdom of the monastery rather than my hit-and-miss experience.

You may check to ensure that you've got a recent version of ActiveState Perl, and of ppm. And check to see that the module repository list is up to date. ...how to do that, I have to leave you to figure out. ;)

Hope that this gets you going in the right direction....

    Dave,

    And when I type "search Mail-Box" at the ppm> prompt I get the following hits:

    Searching in Active Repositories
   1. Mail-Box                 [2.048] E-mail handling
   2. Mail-Box-Parser-C        [3.003] C parser for Mail::Box

    Yes, those are the versions that I have already installed. They came from the 'default' repositories when I used PPM

    Make sure that you address your questions in Seekers of Perl Wisdom to the community at large, and not just to me. You will get farther with the help of the collective wisdom of the monastery rather than my hit-and-miss experience.

    Sorry, I don't understand ? I've always posted my (original) posts/questions to "Seekers of Perl Wisdom" , and then as people have replied, I then always select the "reply" link, and I can always see all the posts (nodes) in _that_ thread. Don't these show up in the "Seekers of Perl Wisdom" ??

    Thanks,

    Peter
