Hi Rob, hi list,

I know nobody wants to hear this any more, but I can't resist. You can install .ppm's with the PAR toolchain without resorting to the PPM from CPAN (which was unmaintained the last time I looked, but that was some time ago).

PAR::Dist::InstallPPD can install PPM packages just fine if the PPD files specify the correct version of Perl and platform you're using. It comes with the nifty parinstallppd command line tool which can be used to override the defaults if you disagree with what it inferred from the PPD by itself. Furthermore, there's a simple and ugly GUI I hacked up around Christmas '06. Links below.

Best regards,
Steffen
