coder45, taking a quick peek at the ppm commands yields the following results:

c:\>ppm help Type 'help command' for more detailed help on a command. Commands: describe - describes packages in detail exit - exits the program help - prints this screen, or help on 'command' install - installs packages profiles - manage PPM profiles properties - describes installed packages in detail q - exits the program query - queries installed packages quit - exits the program remove - uninstalls packages repository - adds, removes, or sets repositories s - searches for packages in a repository search - searches for packages in a repository settings - view or set PPM options targets - views or sets target installer backends tree - shows package dependency tree uninstall - uninstalls packages unset - view or set PPM options upgrade - shows availables upgrades for installed packages version - displays the PPM version (3.2) Extra Help Topics: (not commands) ppm_migration - guide for those familiar with PPM prompt - how to interpret the PPM prompt quickstart - a crash course in using PPM unicode - notes about unicode author names

So you may want to give the following a try:

c:\>ppm upgrade WWW::Search

Update: Hmm, that won't help you out because it will query the activeperl repository. To re-install from Randy's repository, try the following:

c:\>ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/WWW-Search.ppd -forc +e
Note the -force option which will reinstall the package if you already have it installed.
