RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Re: Installing win32-gui from behind a firewall / proxy

[Jason B. <jas...@gb...>]

What works for me... Running win2k located behind a firewall / proxy.....

Download Win32::GUI ppm distribution from sourceforge 
(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/perl-win32-gui/Win32-GUI-0.0.558-PPM-5.6
.zip)
Download to temporary location and expand the zip.
Open up a cmd.exe prompt and locate yourself in the expanded directory.
use ppm to install the package specifying the file location

D:\Temp\Win32-GUI-0.0.558-PPM-5.6>ppm install --location=. Win32-GUI
Installing package 'Win32-GUI'...
Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\GUI.bs
Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\GUI.dll
Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\GUI.exp
Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\GUI.lib
Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\GUI.pm
Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\GUI\BitmapInline.pm
Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\GUI\GridLayout.pm
Writing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\.packlist

While you are at sourceforge you might want to get the samples as well these
are part of the main source distribution (not in the ppm distribution)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/perl-win32-gui/Win32-GUI-0.0.558.tar.gz

NB Links may be different with version changes, should really go through the
main sourceforge link.. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-win32-gui/)

As you say, I have a proxy server and for some reason it doesn't 
allow accesses by ppm.  At this point it is probably customary to 
hit the offending sysadmin on the head with the Camel book, 
unfortunately I can't since he's the local perl expert.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
