It's helpful for installing packages and for copying binaries onto my hard drive, but it doesn't help me to see the PPD file that's being read when I hook up to the ActiveState ppm repository by running 'ppm install DBI'. And it doesn't tell me how to do a 'ppm set clean 0'. With other repositories you can browse directly to the ppd file. For example, to see the ppd for the bribes ppm of Digest::Whirlpool just browse to: http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Digest-Whirlpool.ppd and then 'View Source'. It's the same with the uwinnipeg repository. I couldn't find an address that showed me the DBI.ppd in the ActiveState repository. Anyway .... seems like I was wasting my time. It's just a pity that I had to waste an hour (rather than the 5 minutes I was prepared to waste :-) Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
