----------
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)
----------in win 2000 advanced server,..

i am somewhat comfortable with perl but i am new to perl modules..

when i tried to install xml::simple and xml:arser
there was an error.
----------
what my friend did is :
he created a directory xml inside the lib directoy and he simply copied simple.pm and parser.pm in the xml directory.. and that worked in my machine..
-----------
what i feel is:
"there may be some standard procedures one should follow while installing modules and etc.. even though if we do like copying it might work..but after sometime it may give some problems.."
------------
now i like to know the best practices one should follow while instaling..

thanks in advance...
