Hello,
I am having trouble setting Net-Oscar up on my perl software.
How am I supposed to put it on it since is always saying it cant connect to the ppm server from activestate?

Well thanks if you reply.

Most Perl modules (or anything that is "pure Perl") can be installed manually without the use of PPM. Download and extract the archive from CPAN for the module, and copy whatever's inside of the archive's "lib" folder into one of your Perl libs (probably C:/Perl/site/lib)

i.e. if the module is Net::OSCAR 1.925, its package file is probably "Net-OSCAR-1.925.tar.gz" and you'd open that in WinRAR or similar program, and inside would be a folder named "Net-OSCAR-1.925" and inside that folder would be one called "lib", and "lib" would contain a folder "Net" which would contain a folder "OSCAR" and a file "OSCAR.pm" and so on. So you'd extract all of lib's contents to your Perl lib so that this file would exist:

C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/OSCAR.pm

and so-on for all its sub files.

This only works with pure Perl files, which most modules are, but some modules rely on compiled C code or other external programs and must be installed the "proper" way.

yeah i have a a msn.pm running, but does that one include transfering files? <i think it does> am i right?

No it dosent. There was never an official msn.pm released that had file transfer. One that was under development was leaked had it and I am sure is avalible somewhere or from someone. But the leaked one may have problems as it was leaked whilst it was in alpha testing.
