I have had considerable trouble installing libwww-perl on my AS Perl 5.6.1 Build 633 on WinNT 4.0.
I had been having some strange configuration problems with Perl, so I completely uninstalled AS Perl 5.6.1 Build 62x and installed AS Perl 5.6.1 Build 633. The installation went well and resolved all my configuration problems. I was able to get all the packages that I had been using, except for libwww-perl. I have switched to PPM3 and as long as I remember the new syntax, I like the app. Here is what I get when I try to use PPM3 to install libwww-perl: >D:\Projects\Perl>ppm3 >PPM - Programmer's Package Manager version 3.0.1. >Copyright (c) 2001 ActiveState SRL. All Rights Reserved. > >Entering interactive shell. Using Term::ReadLine::Stub as readline library. > >Profile tracking is not enabled. If you save and restore profiles manually, >your profile may be out of sync with your computer. See 'help profile' for >more information. > >Type 'help' to get started. > >ppm> search libwww >Searching in Active Repositories > 1. libwww-perl [5.48] ActiveState Package Repository [http://ppm-ia.ActiveS~ >ppm> install libwww-perl >Error: Package 'libwww-perl' not found on server. Please 'search' >for it first. >ppm> I search for the package, find the package and ask PPm3 to install the package, and it replies - "'search' for it first." I usually respond with something impolite and drop the matter. This morning after reading a note about libwww-perl and being available on Active State, I decided to try again. I got the above results from PPM3. So then I tried PPM. PPM has been non functioning since the install of Build 633. PPM spews out at me: >D:\Projects\Perl>ppm >Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at D:/Bin/Perl/site/ >lib/PPM.pm line 1684. >Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at D:/Bin/Perl/site/ >lib/PPM.pm line 1684. >Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at D:/Bin/Perl/site/ >lib/PPM.pm line 1684. >Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at D:/Bin/Perl/site/ >lib/PPM.pm line 1684. >Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at D:/Bin/Perl/site/ >lib/PPM.pm line 1684. >Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at D:/Bin/Perl/site/ >lib/PPM.pm line 1684. >PPM interactive shell (2.1.6) - type 'help' for available commands. >PPM> search libwww >PPM> The PPM prompt is returned immediately after the "search libwww". Any suggestions for getting libwww-perl installed or for getting PPM working again? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James H.
