Re^4: Installing modules on Win32

Three possibilities:

I assume you are behind a proxy. Try to set the HTTP_proxy, HTTP_proxy_user and HTTP_proxy_pass environment variables. Then use ppm again:
```
$ set http_proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.x:yyyy
$ set http_proxy_user=username
$ set http_proxy_pass=password
[download]
```
where x is the ip-address of the proxy, and y the port.
Surf to the repository and download the PPD-file. Open it with a text-editor. Identify the line that says <CODEBASE HREF="x86/Convert-ASN1-0.14-PPM.tar.gz" />. Download that tar.gz-file. Put both files in a directory, the tarball must be saved relative to the ppd as stated in the ppd (here ./x86). Add that directory as a repository to ppm.
```
ppm> rep add local /path/to/ppd
[download]
```
Then install the module with ppm.
Download only the tarball, extract it and copy the files to appropriate places in the perl library tree.

Here are the locations of the repositories. I forgot them last night. The list is different, because I am at work now.
