I don't know if anyone else has had this problem (but it seems likely!): ppm stopped working for me after I installed some packages. All my settings (such as repositories) were lost (as evidenced by the output of the set command). The settings were right there in the ppm.xml file, so I started to suspect it was not getting parsed properly, and I tried parsing it with something else (Xerces). Sure enough, I got complaints about a bad character entity, which turned out to be å in the author's name for the OLE-Storage_Lite package. When I deleted these entities from ppm.xml, ppm was restored to proper functioning.
This raises several points: 1. if you install this package, beware: it might disable ppm. Maybe someone at ActiveState can fix the package? 2. Maybe ppm could spit out an error message when it fails to parse ppm.xml? It took me a while to track this down. -- Ken Bandes _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
