The last time this happened, it was the ActiveState PPM server having
problems.

Subject: PPM problem


Hi. I have used PPM before successfully. However, over the last couple days
I
have not been able to get it to work correctly. I am using ActivePerl
5.6.0.613
under Win98.

The first issue is pretty basic. I type PPM at the DOS command line, get the
PPM prompt and then type "search". I get no response -- no list of available
packages... just a new PPM> prompt and an hourglass that takes some time to
go
away.

Second, as I saw with another poster (30 Mar), I get this problem too:

I said:
ppm
>PPM install SOAP-Lite

PPM said:
Install package 'SOAP-Lite?' (y/N):

I said:
y

PPM said:
Retrieving package 'SOAP-Lite'...
Error installing package 'SOAP-Lite': Could not locate a PPD file for
package
SOAP-Lite
>PPM

Does anyone know what the problem is here?

Much obliged,

Brian
