Dear all, Can anyone hep me PLEASE? I have indigoperl installed on my W-Vista machine as I liked the way that the Apache server came with it and I find the whole package easy to use. However, I cannot find a way to install CPAN-based modules. I want to install MATH::Random::MT::Perl, available from the CPAN site I have downloaded the tar.gz file from the CPAN site, unzipped it and tried to use the IPM command from the command line. I have tried the IPM command to access the CPAN site I have tried the IndigoPerl Console (a GUI interface) but cannot find a way to access the package I want. As I acces the internet through a firewall, I have set the proxy port as the indigoperl documentation says I have now run out of ideas to install the package I need. I have contacted the company but they have not had the manners to reply. I have searched the web but to no avail I have looked at indigoperl's help files but they are as useful as a one-armed trombone player Can anyone hep me with an idiot's guide as to how to install a package for indigoperl?
