I am having trouble installing "libwww-perl" via PPM3 v 3.0.1. I have just reinstalled ActiveState Perl v5.6.1 build 633 on my NT4.0 SP6 computer after completely uninstalling all previous version of ActiveState Perl.
The "normal" failure is the following: Repositories: > [1] ActiveState Package Repository > [2] ActiveState PPM2 Repository > [3] Jenda > [4] Winnipeg > [5] RothConsulting > ppm> search libwww > Searching in Active Repositories > 1. libwww-perl [5.48] ActiveState Package Repository [http://ppm-ia.ActiveS~ > ppm> install libwww > Error: Failed to download URL > http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/libwww.ppd: 500 Can't connect to $1:80 > (Bad hostname '$1') > ppm> >From the error message, I can tell that PPM3 is trying to use the RothConsulting >repository. I don't know why and it should, it knows(knew) that it is at the >"ActiveState Package Repository". OK. I'm an adaptable individual, I'll use the REP OFF command to prevent PPM3 from looking anywhere else. So now I get: > Repositories: > [1] ActiveState Package Repository > [ ] ActiveState PPM2 Repository > [ ] Jenda > [ ] RothConsulting > [ ] Winnipeg > ppm> describe libwww-perl > ==================== > Name: libwww-perl > Version: 5.48 > Author: Gisle Aas ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > Title: libwww-perl > Abstract: libwww-perl cookbook > Location: ActiveState Package Repository > Available Platforms: > 1. i686-linux-thread-multi > 2.

I did the DESCRIBE to prove that the libwww-perl module could still be found. Perhaps it's not found but cached from the previous search. But anyway, it doesn't work. I'd would try PPM(2) but the libwww-perl module is not in the PPM2 repository. Any suggestions on what is going wrong and how to get this module loaded? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James H.
