Hi
I need to install perl module Mail Sendmail module on windows server 2003 without Internet and no nmake command (can't install).
So I have to install from a command line.
Can you explan me the operation step by step to install the module and where I can get the file (I think .ppd file)

Thank you

Always try to download the module from internet:

ppm install Sendmail
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...failed 500 Can't connect t
o ppm4.activestate.com:80 (connect: Unknown error)
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provide Sendmail.pm

Can you ping ppm4.activestate.com from a dos window?

Does it resolve? Can it be pinged? Are you behind a firewall that doesn't allow port 80 traffic out?

1. Unzip the package to a temporary directory.
2. Install the package by specifying the ppd file directly:
ppm install c:\tmp\module-name.ppd
