For me (with ppm) one of the entries is : Current PPD repository paths: ActiveState Package Repository: http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/P PM/ppmserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer Since it specifically mentions 'paths' (plural, not singular) I've always assumed that if there were multiple paths specified there, then *all* of those paths would be searched. My AS ppm documentation supports this belief. From the docs: set repository ROTH http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/ The next time you do a 'search' you will not only search the ActiveState package repository but also the repositories you have added. Before you exit PPM you should save the changes to the configuration by issuing the command 'set save'. _ I just tried it out with ppm - and did a search for daemon, and it worked fine. Here's what I got: Packages available from http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/: Win32-Daemon [0.2002.06.06] The Win32::Daemon extension for Win32 X86. Allo ws Perl to be a Win32 service. Packages available from http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver.pl? urn:/PPMServer: MP3-Daemon [0.62] a daemon that possesses mpg123 Net-Daemon [0.31] Perl extension for portable daemons Of course, faik, they might have stuffed this up with ppm3.

I think that ppm3 will search *all* repositories, if none are specified - but I don't have ppm3, so can't be sure.

Re: win32
> Yes, the error message refers to @inc. But there's also an error message (which mentions @INC) that starts off 'Can't locate loadable object...'. I just wanted to be sure that you weren't getting *that* message, because *it* does not pertain to the location of ChangeNotify.pm. (*It* means that ChangeNotify.dll can't be found - which would probably mean that you haven't followed a correct installation procedure.) > How do I know where my @INC points > to? > The error message should tell you ... (the bit in brackets) . something like '(@INC includes c:\perl\lib c:\perl\site\lib .)'. Which would mean that if '/win32/ChangeNotify.pm' is in either 'perl/lib' or 'perl/site/lib' or '.' (which is your current working directory) it will be found. Otherwise it won't be found.

ppm3 search *all* repositories ???
This is probably really simple and I've overlooked it. How can I perform one (1) search that will search all four (4) of my configured repositories? -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .

If 'win32/ChangeNotify.pm' is in one of those specified directories then perl will find it. So, if 'ChangeNotify.pm' is in your 'perl/site/lib/win32/' folder, then the file will be found (assuming your 'perl/site/lib' folder is one of the folders specified in @INC). Did the error message specifically say that the file ChangeNotify.pm could not be found ? Best to provide a cut and paste of the actual error message (in case you have misunderstood it).
