in reply to Cant install modules
I believe the problem you're having is that a PPD file for Net::SMTP does not exist (anywhere).
Have you tried installing using the CPAN shell? I find it much more reliable, if you have the appropriate MAKE utility (probably nmake).
It comes standard with ActiveState's distribution. Here's the command line:
>perl -MCPAN -e shell
It will ask you lots of questions to begin with, but once they're answered it should be configured properly going forward.
After you get it configured, try the following:
If there are any more problems after that, there is ample documentation for the CPAN module at perldoc CPAN or here at the Monastery.>install Net::SMTP
Hope this helps!
