in thread Can someone elaborate as to why this isn't working

I'd suggest ensuring that the WWW-Search and WWW-Search-Yahoo packages are the most recent ones from the uwinnipeg repository; sometimes upgrading packages via ppm is tricky. Witness the following session of trying to upgrade WWW-Search-Yahoo, having installed it earlier from the ActiveState repository:
ppm> rep Repositories: [1] ActiveState Package Repository [2] uwinnipeg ppm> rep desc 2 Describing Active Repository 2: Name: uwinnipeg Location: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer58 Type: PPMServer 2.0 ppm> upgrade -install WWW-Search-Yahoo WWW-Search-Yahoo 2.37: new version 2.404 available in uwinnipeg ==================== Upgrade 'WWW-Search-Yahoo' version 2.37 in ActivePerl 5.8.7.815. ==================== Downloaded 17256 bytes. Extracting 17/17: blib/arch/auto/WWW/Search/Yahoo/.exists Successfully upgraded WWW-Search-Yahoo version 2.37 in ActivePerl 5.8.7.815.
Thus, even though ppm saw that an upgraded version was available in the uwinnipeg repository, it didn't upgrade to that version. One way to do that is to uninstall the package, move the uwinnipeg repository ahead of the ActiveState repository, and then install:
ppm> rep up 2 Repositories: [1] uwinnipeg [2] ActiveState Package Repository ppm> remove WWW-Search-Yahoo ==================== Remove 'WWW-Search-Yahoo' version 2.37 from ActivePerl 5.8.7.815. ==================== unlink C:\Perl\html\site\lib\WWW\Search\Yahoo.html [ snip ] ppm> install WWW-Search-Yahoo ==================== Install 'WWW-Search-Yahoo' version 2.404 in ActivePerl 5.8.7.815. ==================== Downloaded 22629 bytes. Extracting 45/45: blib Installing C:\Perl\html\site\lib\WWW\Search\Yahoo.html [ snip ] Successfully installed WWW-Search-Yahoo version 2.404 in ActivePerl 5.8.7.815. ppm> upgrade WWW-Search-Yahoo WWW-Search-Yahoo 2.404: up to date.
You should also do the same for the WWW-Search package.
