Thanks Chris:
I have over 2000 programs written using Active State Perl over the
years, and editing them to run under Strawberry isn't really an option,
if there are any incompatibilities in the interpreters.
If at all possible, I'd like to get PDL running under ASPerl.
I doubt that the problem is the blanks in the folder name, since that's
the name that ASPerl's ppm assigned.
The 401 error usually means an error in signing on. How does one
sign on to ppm? I've never had to do it in the past.
Has anyone else had problems installing PDL under ASPerl?
