Problems with Perl Modules and Currency
Hi-
Thanks for a great programm. big grin

I have 2 problems and need help urgently.

1. Please explain to a newby how to change the default currency.
I would like to change it from $ to NIS (no calcolations needed) Just a change of the currency symbol.

2. I cannot install some of the Perl Modules. With ppm3 I get the following error code:PPD for ***** could not be found.

GD
Crypt::SSLeay
Business::OnlinePayment
Finance::QuoteHist

All others went easily.

Thanks for any help

ALso you can use teh CPAN toola instead of the PPM,

perl -MCPAN -e shell
CPAN>install GD

same thing with all modules
the first time you run cpan you will answer some questions to configure it.

I found GD.
cpan then looks for -libgd- no idea where this is supposed to be. :?
the other modules cpan or ppm cannot even find.

any ideas ?

Re: Problems with Perl Modules and Currency
On windows system cpan will not be able to build it easily, you have to use a built version, use the PPM. May be you did not add any mirrors to ppm that have the GD module.

Re: Problems with Perl Modules and Currency
ppms for the gd module may be found in other repositories and installed as follows from DOS:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/gd.ppd

This will install the gd ppm from the University of Winnipeg's version 5.8 ppm repository.


also try the following:

ppm> rep add http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/

this will add the above repositor to your ppm you can after it install gd using
ppm>install GD



If you want to install a module located on the web, simply do this

from the dos:

ppm install http://www.domain.com/path/module.tar.gz


If you want to add repository to the ppm to search and download from, use command like this from inside the ppm>

repository add repname http://www.domain.com/perl/ppm

replace repname with any name you want to refere to this repository and replace http://www.domain.com/perl/ppm with the repository url you want to add for the ppm.
