Since I wrote Installing Template::Toolkit on Windows, I've installed nothing but Strawberry (which coexists with AS very happily). A simple test is to install a copy of Strawberry, which contains its own C compiler & libraries, and see if the module you want will install on that. If it does, you know that the problem is with AS and that the module is available for Windows. But I've usually found it pretty obvious from the name or docs (Starman has a clear statement that it's Unix only) whether a module is for one OS (or group) only. As Corion says, it would be easier for us if you named the module. You might also have a look at BrowserUK's reply (Re: Installing Template::Toolkit on Windows) in my thread, in which he demonstrates another installation method using neither ppm nor CPAN.

Regards,

John Davies
