Hi all,
I have often used make_ppm.bat in the past to create easily portable
PPDs of modules available from CPAN. Since about two months ago,
however, make_ppm.bat hasn't worked at all. Please help diagnose and
fix this problem, since it is holding me up on several projects.
I have included below typical CLI results when I try to run
make_ppm.bat, even when I've downloaded the module in advance. I have
also included a listing of the directory about which it seems to be
complaining, although the complaint is rather cryptic.
C:\.cpan\build>make_ppm --version
C:\Perl\bin\make_ppm version 0.75
(Getopt::Long::GetOptions version 2.34; Perl version 5.8.7)
C:\.cpan\build>make_ppm -f -b
C:\.cpan\build\Win32-API-Prototype.tar.gz Win32::API::Prototype
Using Archive::Tar ....
Using Compress::Zlib ....
Using nmake ....
Using C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe ....
No results for "Win32::API::Prototype" were found at
C:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/Make/Util.pm line 659.
