Author Math Clipboard Guitest versions questions Feb 26, 2008

What modules can be used with ActivePerl (ActiveState) version 5.10. to
replace modules used with 5.8. that had the following names:

Math::Trig
Win32::Clipboard
Win32::GuiTest

Or, should I just try to find presently available Cpan modules that are
closest in name and function to those.

ActivePerl 5.10 comes with Math::Trig and Win32::Clipboard included in
it.
For Win32::GuiTest, there's a ppm package for version 1.54 at the
uwinnipeg repository:

ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackage...n32-GuiTest.ppd

That sounds like what is needed. Thanks.

What a pleasant surprise. All three modules work with relatively little
command structure change from the commands I have been using. And, that was
the easiest PPM installation I have tried to date.

=46rom http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/ :

-- quote --
A set of repositories, suitable for adding to the ppm utility of
ActivePerl 10xx, is given below - make sure to add only those
repositories corresponding to your Perl version, as reported by C:
\>perl -v.
http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm, for the www.bribes.org Perl 5.10
repository
http://trouchelle.com/ppm10/, for the trouchelle Perl 5.10 repository
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/, for the uwinnipeg Perl
5.10 repository
--end quote --

Probab;y a good idea for you to add those reps to your list of ppm
repositories. That way, anything available at any of those reps will
be automatically found. (Otherwise you'll need to browse those sites
and explicitly 'ppm install' the binaries you find there.)

Cheers,
Rob
