Hi,
 
I want to use SWISH-E to index some webpages held on my pc (Windows XP).
I do not know Linux or Perl.
This request is for help with a tool used with SWISH-E to format HTML
pages for dynamic content.  Template-Toolkit.
 
In your archives I found "Installing Swish-e, Apache and mod_perl for
Windows 2000/XP" <http://swish-e.org/archive/2004-05/7485.html> provided
by Peter Morling.
 
I have installed Perl at C:\Perl\
I have installed SWISH-E at C:\SWISH-E\
 
I would like to install Template-Toolkit as well.
Peter's instructions say: "Obtain it from
http://www.template-toolkit.org/ and use the Perl package manager (ppm)
to install it."   
I get to the download page: <
http://www.template-toolkit.org/download/index.html >
 
As per the Pre-requisites on this page, I have used the Perl Package
Manager to install AppConfig.
Under "Platform-specific binaries -- Microsoft Windows" I followed their
link to "ActivePerl PPM packages" at 
< http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.18/html/modules-manual-download.html > 
Scroll down to find "Template-Toolkit".
 
This is where the instructions become a little fuzzy!  What do I do
next? What is a ppd file and how do I use it? 
 
I eventually found that the previous page had some [sort of helpful]
instructions:  
<
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.18/html/modules-manual-instructions.html
>
and realised [that possibly] I had to open a DOS window by running "cmd"
and then from the root directory of my C: drive, type the following, [I
guess?]:
 
ppm install http://landfill.bugzilla.org/ppm/Template-Toolkit.ppd
 
The result was the following error:
ppm install failed:  The PPD does not provide code to install for this
platform
 
I saved the contents of the Template-Toolkit.ppd file as a file on my C:
drive and tried again:
 
ppm install Template-Toolkit.ppd
 
same error message
 
I tried:
ppm install file:///C:/Template-toolkit.ppd
 
same error message
 
even tried it with a file name Template.ppd 
still same error message
 
My PATH statement has C:\Perl\site\bin and C:\Perl\bin  specified right
at the beginning of the statement.
 
Help!
Can someone tell me why I'm getting this error message?  Have I done
something I shouldn't have? Have I missed doing something?
Is there another way of getting this installed?  I can access the
"tar.gz" file and WinZip shows me there are lots of files in it.  
 
 
Thanks,
Susan
