xml-dom package installation for PERL

[kelly]

hallo, i have a problem about the xml-dom package installation for PERL. i downloaded a xml-dom.ppd from Perl5.6 repository because i am using Perl5.6.1 now....and then i use PPM2.1.6 version to install it, and came the messages below:

Installing package 'd:\inetpub\chen\backup\xml-dom.ppd'...
mkdir C:\DOKUME~1\fkessel\LOKALE~1: File exists at D:/Programme/Perl/site/lib/PPM.pm line 314

after that, i cannot use the package still.....

is there anybody can tell me why????thank you....

perhaps, you do'nt have the permissions for overwriting the file above?

all the best, Rolf

mkdir C:\DOKUME~1\fkessel\LOKALE~1: File exists at D:/Programme/Perl/site/lib/PPM.pm line 314

i think it install the package to another directory but not to the lib folder while there is no any other error or warning messages.........and after i installed it, i type

search xml-dom

but it doesn't find it.....

hi again,

mkdir C:\DOKUME~1\fkessel\LOKALE~1: File exists at D:/Programme/Perl/site/lib/PPM.pm line 314

Hmm, it is your 1st installation with PPM on this machine?

If yes, perhaps your PERL - installation is'nt correctly.
Look: usually PERL is installed below the rootdirectory on harddiskdrive, p.e.: c:\perl\bin or d:\perl\bin ... but not in users profile-directroy. Further, you might need a note like c:\perl\bin in the PATH-variable.

In case not for my question - i do'nt no, sorry.

All the best, Rolf
