Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Installing win32-gui

[Jonathan S. <jso...@al...>]

I too had problems when I recently tried to install Win32::GUI onto my 
Win98 machine.  The problem was that was either a problem with the outside 
routers or something on Aldo's site, but I doubt it was a problem with the 
latter.  I discovered this by going directly to http://dada.perl.it in my 
web browser.  When I did this I did not get Aldo's Perl Site but some 
Telecommunications site .. weird huh?

I tried later by doing the following:

ppm install --location=http://dada.perl.it/PPM Win32-GUI

and it worked just fine!!!!  I would recommend you first try to browse to 
the http://dada.perl.it site and see what you get.  If you get Aldo's Perl 
site then try the ppm install I showed, otherwise you have bigger problems.
