hi,
i think that ppm has broken in newer builds of ActiveState Perl.
i just upgraded to 5.8.4.810 ... and i replicated the issue in 5.8.3.809.
i'm trying to install Net-SNPP and Net-Syslog ... two of my favorite modules ... and they are failing -- see below for output.
has anyone found a work-around for this "Error: PPD for 'module-whatever' could not be found" message?
