Thanks marto,

Wow, do you have the entire CPAN as PPMs? PPM4 said "Don't know how to unpack ... " the zip file. So I tried it with PPM3 and got:

C:\Documents and Settings\johnday.MERCURY>ppm3 install http://trouchel
+le.com/ppm/Data-ICal.ppd

But I downloaded the zip file, and I am sure I can do a manual install tomorrow if necessary.
