Hi,
I have tried using ppm to install modules, but get this error:
HTTP POST failed: 500 (Can't connect to www.activestate.com:80 (Bad hostname 'www.activestate.com') at C:/Program Files/ejd/perl/site/lib/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 33, <> line 1.), in SOAP method call. Content of response: at C:/Program Files/ejd/perl/site/lib/PPM/SOAPClient.pm line 222
It was suggested I try set an Environment Variable to a proxy server, I did this, but get the same error or it times out. So I went to http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/ and downloaded DBI-1.39.zip, unzipped it in a directory called perl/install and followed the instructions in the readme file (ppm install dbi.ppd), whch resulted in the following error:
C:\PROGRA~1\ejd\perl\bin>ppm install dbi.ppd
Retrieving package 'dbi.ppd'...
Error installing package 'dbi.ppd': Could not locate a PPM binary of 'dbi.ppd' for this platform
I tried dbi.ppm, moved all the files to per\bin, copied them to the lib and site\lib directories... all to no avail.
What am I doing wrong here? All I want to do is install a few modules, this is getting very frustrating.
Regards,
Evan
