In unix, no message means no error. Can you now use the module? If so, nothing's wrong.	[reply]

Anytime I've installed modules on a Win32 system (not using PPM), I've done the following: `perl -MCPAN -e"install Blah::Blah"` [download] or open a shell session via: `perl -MCPAN -eshell` [download] Installing via CPAN on a Win32 system works great if you're using Strawberry Perl. You can get a copy from http://vanillaperl.com/. You can also read about it at the win32.perl.org wiki.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
