Yes, I have noted that there is a later version available on CPAN that could be installed manually. Unfortunately the availability of a C complier to attempt manual installs always seem to be a stumbling block, and I must confess that I don't really have any experience at manual installs either. So I am going to keep my fingers crossed and see if a 32 bit install will work before going down that path.
But thanks for the heads up.

So you could probably download the latest & greatest (v0.17) from CPAN and install it manually if getting it through the 32-bit PPM doesn't work for your 64-bit system. But just be sure to get the 64-bit dependencies before you try to install it via the 32 bit repository. Some of the dependencies involve compiled code. (IO::Socket::SSL, Net::SSLeay::Handle) So in these cases 32-bit versions won't work for you in your 64 bit environment.

I actually just tried installing the 32 bit version of Perl 5.10 and that now shows the FTPSSL package I need as being available. I guess I'll have to install the 32 bit version of Perl and this module in the 64 bit environment and hope that it still works.

The only repositories with 64-bit Windows modules that I am aware of are ActiveState, wxPerl, and Sisyphusion (5.12 only). Cheers, -Jan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ashley Cooper Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 9:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: PPM and Repositories I am running Active State Perl 5.10.1 on a Windows Server 2008 64 bit platform. I need to install a module in the Winnipeg repository for Perl 5.10 (Net:FTPSSL). However when I add the Winnipeg repository to PPM's repository list, the number of packages available from it is listed as zero. (At least I assume that's what the "# Pkgs" column means in the PPRM Preferences/Repositories tab). The status messages indicate that the Winnipeg packlist is downloaded OK. I even tried downloading the XML package list from the Winnipeg site and pointing PPM at the local copy of it. Still the number of packages comes up as zero. Can anybody suggest what I am doing wrong? Should I be trying to use a 64 bit specific repository?
