you need to put the tar.gz file in a seperate directory. so if the ppd file is in c: then the tar.gz file has to be in c:\x86 directory for it to find it. try command c:>ppm install win32-adminmisc.ppd and it should not ask you any questions and if the path is correct will do the installation.

As I don't have internet on the NT machine where I want to install ADMINMISC module, I built a PPM package. I Did it from ftp://www.roth.net/pub/ntperl/adminmisc/20000708/Bin/Adminmisc_5006.zip ... Hope it is fully compatible with Activestate v 5.6.0 build 617 . I now have a problem with PPM, it prefix the adminmisc.tar.gz name with a / and then can't read it: PPM> install win32-adminmisc.ppd Install package 'win32-adminmisc.ppd?' (y/N): y Retrieving package 'win32-adminmisc.ppd'... Error installing package 'win32-adminmisc.ppd': Read of ./adminmisc.tag.gz failed I also tried to put the complete path: PPM> install win32-adminmisc --location=c:\perl56\bin\ Install package 'win32-adminmisc?' (y/N): y Retrieving package 'win32-adminmisc'... Error installing package 'win32-adminmisc': Read of c:\perl56\bin\/adminmisc.tag.gz failed How I can deal with it, in oder to get the correct name ?
