But using manual method..(just down load that module from CPAN and after that manually setting it ) there are so many dependencies and at last it gets failed so I want to install through PPM GUI . Beacause it always worked for me and it is hazard free.
Advance help for any suggestions on this .
First, thanks for moving this ofer JoS!
Ok, I assume since you are speaking about PPM that you are on the Windows platform. If that is the case, you probably have the Active State version of Perl installed.
Unfortunately, when you use that version, you are at the mercy of what Active State(AS) is able to port over to their packaging system (PPM). As you have seen, the entire CPAN repository certainly isn't reflected.
The only way to get away from PPM in Windows is to uninstall the AS version and install Strawberry Perl. Once you do that you would not use PPM anymore, instead you would use the CPAN interface. Check out perlmodinstall document on perldoc.perl.org for more information.
