I can't get the Jenda repository to work either. In fact I can't install from any repositories either ppm or ppm3 from the Activestate Perl distribution. Though I can view their contents (when logged in as a user). ppm won't even accept the command "search *" it gives "invalid regular expression" even though this is given as an example in the manual. ppm3 won't even start it complains about the lack of existance of some registry keys.
Does anyone know if PPM uses a strange port no. that maybe normally blocked. If not then considering that 3 other people have had problems with ppm the only reasonable explaination is that ppm is too flaky to be useful. I have never had problems like this even building stuff from source. I'm sure many people besides myself would appreciate it if someone put binary Win32::GUI on a website in downloadable form (eg .tar.gz). Saving us from stuff like ppm that gives open-source a bad name. The information in this e-mail is for use by the addressee(s) only.
