$ ppm
Can't locate ActivePerl/PPM/limited_inc.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.10/i686-cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/5.10 /usr/
lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8 .) at
/cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/ppm line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/ppm line 4.
You're running /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/ppm - which is the ActivePerl ppm
utility, *not* the Cygwin ppm utility. (I didn't know Cygwin had a ppm
utility btw.) Apparently, the ActivePerl ppm utility needs
ActivePerl/PPM/limited_inc.pm, but can't find that file in your Cygwin build
of perl - which is hardly surprising.
(Not exactly sure of the mechanism that leads to ActivePerl's ppm finding
Cygwin's perl instead of ActivePerl's perl - but that's what's happening.)
The problem would probably go away if you removed /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/ppm
from Cygwin's $PATH - or at least put it at the end of $PATH.
In installing ActivePerl, the system environment variable was probably
altered to include C:/Perl/bin, and your bash shell is picking it up from
there.
Cheers,
Rob
