To obtain the capability to update the SSW archive you will need to install a scripting language called Perl. Provided with the SSW installation is a Perl package called Mirror. This package uses the FTP protocol to duplicate a directory hierarchy between the machine it is run on and a remote host. If you already have Perl installed on your pc, make sure you have installed ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 629 or higher.
Some Windows 98 users may require an additional download called DCOM. If you need DCOM then Perl will alert you during installation. Simply abort the installation, download and install DCOM using the appropriate link below:
If you find it necessary to install DCOM, reboot your system after doing so before re-attempting to install Perl.DCOM for Windows 98
After setup, delete the Perl installation files from your desktop as they are no longer needed.
Installing Perl:1. Start your internet browser and go to the URL: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/
2. Save the MSI version of ActivePerl for Windows to your Desktop.
3. Minimize your browser and locate the newly saved file on your PC Desktop.
4. Double click on the file to begin the installation. Click "Next >" on the installation panel.
(Note: If your pc doesn't automatically recognize the file as an installation program, you need to download
and install the Microsoft Windows Installer first. You can get it here.
5. Accept the "End-User License Agreement. Click "Next >".
6. The default installation will be the directory C:\Perl (best choice for most users). Use the "Browse" button if you want to install it elsewhere, otherwise Click "Next >".
