On a related note can anyone tell me how to install XML::XQL::DOM with ActiveState Perl on Windows? It is required for the DropShadow effect, so it might be a useful bit of info to have hanging around in the mailing list archives.
To install packages with ActiveState Perl you should use the PPM (Perl Package Manager) app. From the command line type "ppm" to start the app, then "search XQL" or "search DOM" to get a listing of related packages. Then use the install method of PPM to get the package and install it once you've found what you're looking for.
But what do I do when the module doesn't turn up as a result of either of those searches? Can I configure an alternative repository? Or download the package and install by hand? I thought perhaps someone had installed it successfully and could relate the steps they took.
Well I made it work but my method just doesn't seem to be the right way.
1: install prereqs with ppm: install xml-dom install parse-yapp install datemanip
2: download xml-xql from: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/T/TJ/TJMATHER/XML-XQL-0.68.tar.gz
3: open command prompt and locate perl's lib directory with: perl -e "print qq(@INC)"
(mine was C:/Perl/site/lib)
4: unpack xml-xql archive 5: copy contents of XML-XQL-*\lib\XML into C:\Perl\site\lib\XML 6: copy XML-XQL-*\XQLParser\Parser.pm to C:\Perl\site\lib\XML\XQL
