Question : How do I install File/Tail.pm with ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 820

I'm having a terrible time with File/Tail.pm with ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 820. I contacted ActiveState but they haven't responded yet.

I get this error:
D:\>C:\perl\bin\ppm install File::Tail
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...failed 500 Can't connect t
o ppm4.activestate.com:80 (Bad hostname 'ppm4.activestate.com')
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provide File::Tail

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\File-Tail-0.99.3\t

C:\File-Tail-0.99.3\t>test.pl
Can't locate File/Tail.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .
) at C:\File-Tail-0.99.3\t\test.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\File-Tail-0.99.3\t\test.pl line 1.

Where do I put the File::Tail modules, what folder, its own folder in C: or inside the Perl folder somewhere, ....Its driving me nuts.

Not sure what you mean about xml files. As gripe say, all you need is to copy the Tail.pm to the right directory
copy Tail.pm C:\perl\site\lib\File
You can get the Tail.pm file from the CPAN link above.
