note wfsp Hi,<br> I have activestate on winXP.<br> I have installed/updated modules using ppm without a hitch.<br> I want to try Win32::Rase but have not been able to find it with ppm so I (nervously) tried the cpan.pm method you describe.<br> The 'install' command doesn't find it but the 'i' command seems to know about it.<br> Any advice please? Thanks in advance. <code> C:\Perl>perl -MCPAN -e "shell" Terminal does not support AddHistory. cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7601) ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN') cpan> install Win32::Rase CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read \.cpan\Metadata Database was generated on Thu, 29 Jul 2004 06:14:41 GMT Warning: Cannot install Win32::Rase, don't know what it is.
