Hey, contact me in person, and I'll try to help. Here is the deal. www.xmlproj.com/PPM now has perl 5.6 and perl 5.8 PPMs. ppm utility does not have to take the full URL. All you really have to do, is add the www.xmlproj.com/PPM or any other respository to your PPM database, like this...
ppm add respository XMLPROJ http://www.xmlproj.com/PPM/ Ilya Sterin -----Original Message----- From: Kulahalli Steve-ESK035 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 2:26 PM To: 'Sterin, Ilya'; 'Tim Bunce '; "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"@il06exr04.mot.com Cc: "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"@il06exr04.mot.com Subject: RE: (Fwd) Hi Tim and Ilya, I have encountered this problem and many more have encountered this problem! The standard PERL/PPM install on WIndows will not load/install the DBD::Oraperl package as it is not on the default repository that is set when standard PERL is installed. Not many people understand PPM takes an URL for install; but assuming they did, how will they know where such a PPD exists. If somebody can take the little trouble of installing the PPD in the "standard" repository location it will be of great help! The problem is compounded due to the fact that the ActiveState PERL web site shows latest version 5.8.x available. We spent more than 10 days to figure out that 5.8 or latest PERL releases do not things set up properly. I could not find one Net searchable site that explains this issue 100's have encountered. Pls. let me know if you need some manpower for this. May be I can be of help! It was amazingly frustrating for all PERL experts at work here (using it for 3-4 years on UNIX). Thanks and sorry for sounding a little frustrated, but ready to help if you think I can, Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Sterin, Ilya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 2:06 PM To: 'Tim Bunce '; "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"@il06exr04.mot.com Cc: "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"@il06exr04.mot.com Subject: RE: (Fwd) Where did you find that information out.
