Encode-HanExtra.ppd Encode-JIS2k.ppd SGML-Parser-OpenSP.ppd XML-LibXML-Common.ppd The error message returned by ppm is: ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform. I assume the above modules have OS Specific compiled code in them(?). I found suitable substitutes for the other required modules at ActiveState--that is, they installed. I have not confirmed that they work properly yet. OS Details: Windows 7 home premium. All current updates installed. Perl version: 5.10.1 build 1007 - 32 bit version. Downloaded and installed today. Validator version: 1.1 Any workaround suggestions would be most appreciated.
