Re^3: How to install Devel::Cover on Active Perl 5.8.7

[Not_a_Number]

Well, if you have installed ActiveState Perl, ppm is (should be?) a utility that has installed itself by default.

At the command line, type:

ppm install Devel::Cover

Let us know what happens.

Error: 'ppm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[syphilis]

Could it be that you need to add your perl\bin to the path ? (If you have ActivePerl, then you have ppm.)
What does perl -V output ?

Cheers,
Rob
