installed perl, now need to download modules, such as session.pm...

[spewn]

i remember asking this awhile back...although i was told how to do this, someone told me how to use ppm to download the needed modules directly.

do you know how to do this?

i typed cd.., then cd.. to get to the c:/ drive in the command prompt. then i typed 'ppm install session' and got this error...

error installing package 'session': Read a PPD for session, but it is not intended for this build of perl <MSWin32-x86-multi-thread>

any idea how to do this?

You probably have ActivePerl version 5.8 installed and you downloaded a module intended for version 5.6
The html documentation that comes with ActivePerl explains how to use PPM in detail

You may want to check out your post from last year on this one too.. Did you bump your head sometime between then and now and lose your memory? ;-)
