Yes, unfortunately true.
Some of the packages I needed but were not in a repository
installed with nmake and ran fine. Others installed and passed
tests but did not run. And others simply refused installation
period.
Scott Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> suggested I try the Winnipeg
Theoretical Physics repository at
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms for the missing GD I needed
and it was there. So you might try it.
You might also try Jenda Krynicky's repository at
http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz/perl/
It was also suggested to me to try CPAN to update but this had
really bad results for me.
PPM itself seems buggy to me but maybe it is just quirky - I
don't know. I have yet to figure out how to make it search new
repositories I've added without errors.
But I will say that 5.8 is now working for me and most of
my package issues have been resolved or I've implemented
alternative solutions.
Hope you find solutions -
Terry Fritts
