Scratch that, PPM is *sort of* down, for some people, sometimes. We're
still looking into it, but for example I was just able to install
DBD::mysql on Linux, whereas earlier this morning this failed with the
usual ( admittedly obscure ) error message:
PPM::PPD::init: not a PPD and not a file:
The loose theory so far is that this is load related. Some people insist
on trying to aggressively scrape ppm, even though we run rsync now. =)

normal later today ( keep in mind we're PST over here, and
developers sleep in apparently )

Hi,

Ok ... something funny is happening here. First thing I'd like
to do is take a look at the PPD file. Where is it ? More
importantly, where is the documentation that enables me to
find its location ?

Strangely, I get the same problem today - cannot ppm install
anything from AS repository. After installing XML::SAX yesterday,
the pureperl component did cause ppm to generate a bunch of
warnings, so uninstalled but without effect.
Finally just uninstalled perl altogether, deleted c:/perl and
reinstalled clean. AS repository still returns the same error.
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca repository works fine, and ppm *will*
install downloaded zip packages locally from
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/
VPM just dies on attempting install.
Anybody else confirm?
