First, what OS are you using Perl on? Second, have you run the CPAN shell before this? If not, then you might need to just run "perl -MCPAN -e shell" and go through the initial configuration. What options you choose will depend on your system and what you are doing. You should read everything on the screen and if you don't know what something is, then just take the default. There is one question where it asks you if you want to ask, follow or something else. I would choose "follow" to make your life easier. That will install dependencies for the modules you are installing, automatically.

Ok, so you are on Windows using the Active State version of Perl. It would be easier for you if you ran the PPM gui from the start menu. You search for the module you want to install and install it. Its pretty easy and no configuration really needed from what I remember. I haven't used it on the command line so I cannot help you there.

You may need to turn off any firwall software running or try and add ppm to the list of programs that can access the internet.

If you are using this in your office/if there is any proxy settings, add the following three environment variables under system variables:

name: http_proxy
value: your proxy server(e.g http://internet:8085)

name: http_proxy_user
value: your username(Windows login)

name: http_proxy_pass
value: user password
