in reply to Installing modules

What modules are you trying to install? It is possible they are not packaged by Activestate so they won't be found in the default repositories. There are a couple of third-party repositories that have more modules. What commands did you use?

What zip files did you download? I am guessing you got the pre-built binaries from ActiveState. It is better to install those through PPM. If you also get the .ppd file, you can do a command-line ppm install. But if you downloaded them, then this means they exist in the repository and should be found through PPM.
