We need more details.

Are you installing from the command line or through the ppm gui?

What error message does it give when it fails?

What version of Perl and PPM are you using?

Is the ppm repository that you're getting the module from for the same version of Perl as the Perl installation on your system?

Re: [ahess] XML::RSS Module Install [In reply to]	Can't Post

I start PPM. It downloads the pack list of the repositories I have added to my repistory list, which are:

activestate
bribes
uwinnipeg
trouchelle

after the pack lists are downloaded and checked and updated (this takes several minutes on my computer), I marked the XML::RSS module for install then click the action icon that runs the commands waiting to be run.

Thats it.

Thanks for your help, just installed 1.37. I had a network problem at work that didn't allow zip files to be downloaded, our network block that kind of downloads from the internet.
