in reply to Getting error while running file

This is almost certainly a result of the error you got when attempting to install IO::Tty. If you told us what the error was then we might be able to be a bit more help.

Are you using ActivePerl? If you are, then you'll generally find it a lot easier if you install Perl modules using PPM.

    Hi, I am using Active Perl Windows. I could not find exact steps to install Tty module using ppm commands.. Could you please let me know the steps how to use these commands? Where should the module extract IO-Tty-1.02 folder be placed to run ppm commands for installing Tty module? What do we refer here as a package - the extracted folder or the zipped file?? Thanks.

      Well, I'm not the best person to answer this question as I never use ActiveState or ppm. But as I understand it, you don't need the CPAN download in order to install a ppm module, you simply type ppm at the command line and then install IO::Tty at the ppm prompt. ppm will then go and get everything it needs from the Activestate module repository.

      You can get more information about ppm on the Activestate web site.

      Update: It seems from the other discussion that you started on this subject that IO::Tty isn't available from ppm.
