I am also having problems with PPM and have posted on Perl-Win-32-Users mailing list at activestate. For me it is Win32-Lanman package.
I also having the same problems as you. I did the same thing yesterday and everything worked. It was Activestate Perl Build 631. I had problems with OS (With Windows what else can you expect), and had to reinstall Windows 2000 this morning and then tried installation of ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 631 as I did yesterday. Now PPM has stopped working that I am not able to install even DBI package. When I type ppm query, it is not showing any versions either. Surely something is goofed up big time. I am going to try uninstallation and then installation of ActivePerl once again! -- Rex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 2:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Error installing package I am on NT, trying to use 'PPM INSTALL DBI' and receiving an error message: Error installing package 'DBI': Could not locate a PPD file for package DBI: Very frustrating. I have yet to succeed with PPM. I know there is a firewall here, is that possibly the problem? Are there config scripts or file some where? I haven't had much luck locating them. I trust PPM works because I tried 'PPM INSTALL TK' and it returned: Version 800.023 of 'Tk' is already installed. Remove it, or use 'verify --upgrade Tk'. I've been referred to many docs, but none that I've found have been able to help with this. Thanks to any and all who can help me over this hurdle.
