When you say that you unzip those .zip files into the repository directory - where are you getting those .zip files from? I'm asking because some people think that they can just grab a CPAN package and have it magically work with ppm - but you have to build the ppd package manually from the CPAN package and only then will it work with ppm. -- Jason King _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
