Installing the link checker, as the instructions perhaps fail to state simply, is just a question of installing a number of perl modules from the CPAN archive. I am not entirely familiar with how activeperl works, but I suppose that just like other perl distributions, you can install a module from CPAN by typing, from the command line: perl -MCPAN -e 'install My::Module' In the case of the link checker, the following should therefore work: perl -MCPAN -e 'install W3C::LinkChecker' Then follow the interactive menus, say "yes" to installing the other modules we depend upon, and all should work nicely. Hopefully, if I am mistaken about how active perl works, someone with a better knowledge of it will correct me. There also seems to be a couple of FAQs on working with CPAN and ActivePerl, for instance: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/5.8/lib/CPAN.html Hope this helps, olivier -- olivier Thereaux - W3C - http://www.w3.org/People/olivier/ W3C Open Source Software: http://www.w3.org/Status
