Hi there, I would like to try this module. To which folder to I have to install Win32::IE::Mechanize? I tried to download using ppm, "install Win32::IE::Mechanize" does not appear to do it...Any advice?

The ppm-builder at activestate doesn't seem to happy with it :-(
I keep my own ppm distro here:

Just want to clarify one thing. To which folder do I have to extract the files? Thank you very much :)

Just extract that .zip in any folder (e.g. %TEMP%) and follow the instructions in Win32-IE-Mechanize.README. ppm should take care of where it is installed.

Abe, I tried to do as readme suggests. I get this error: "no suitable installation target found for package Win32-IE-Mechanize" Any ideas?

Sounds like the architecture's don't match. Make sure the NAME attribute of the ARCHITECTURE tag in the ppd is the same as the architecture perl was compiled for. To check the latter use:

perl -V:archname

Perhaps it is easier to install nmake and use the cpan shell

Abe, it is the same. MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (perl 5.8.7)

irma,
It looks like http://ppm.activestate.com is off-line. Do you have the module Win32::OLE already installed?
I can reproduce the error on a "clean" win-xp system. I also tried

ppm install Win32::OLE

and it doesn't find the repository (with clear errors this time).
I guess you'll have to wait for the repository to come back on-line...

irma,
It seems to be a ppm-3 thing. Edit the ppd file:
Remove the line: <DEPENDENCY NAME="Win32" VERSION="0,0,0,0" />
Change the archname to: "MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8"

That seems to work on my system.

HTH
-- Abe.

Abe,
Randy Kobes has added Win32::IE::Mechanize in his repository. I tried to downloaded from there, and for some reason, it works.
Thank you for your help.

For a local install using ppm the ppd in Abe's zip file should be as follows CODEBASE HREF="Win32-IE-Mechanize-0.009.tar.gz" / NOT CODEBASE HREF="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/Win32-IE-Mechanize-0.008.tar.gz" /
