The failed items should be installed automatically if ppm3 can find its way around your firewall. Otherwise you will need to install Filter and Time::HiRes before POE. > Could the owners of the POE installation try this and make sure > that if something else is required other than a fresh install of > PERL that it would be listed in the instructions? > > This is getting very frustrating... I tried ppm3 on a handy Windows machine while preparing POE 0.2302 for release. I was able to reproduce the problem locally, but I have no idea as to its cause. I have submitted the problem to ActiveState, and I will post an update to the mailing list when I know more. In the meantime, you can watchthe problem in ActiveState's bug tracker: http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21513 This is what the install attempt looked like: C:\rocco>ppm3 install \ http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/poe/POE.ppd ==================== Install 'POE' version 0.2302 in ActivePerl 5.6.1.631. ==================== Downloaded 315769 bytes.
