Help Please, PPM3 not working

[Alberto Adrian]

Hello, I am having trouble at my Win XP Pro with PPM3. It might have started failing after I used perl -MCPAN ...  Now, when I call ppm3 it answers: Error: neither 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ActiveState/PPM//InstallLocation' nor 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/ActiveState/PPM//InstallLocation' found in registry at ppm3.bat line 29. And at lines previous to 29 I find the following... my $opt_exe = -f $own            ? $own        :           defined $R->{$key1}    ? $R->{$key1}    :           defined $R->{$key2}    ? $R->{$key2}    : undef; die "Error: neither '$key1' nor '$key2' found in registry"   unless defined $opt_exe; What might have erased those lines from the Registry? Is it recoverable, without re-installing all? I actually have 2 activeperl versions working at the same machine. One is the last version, and the other the previous one, working with my Apache2 server. I didn't try to keep only one, because I wouldn't spend a lot of time studying how to do it without spoiling the server. But I declared the four paths to the libraries at PER5LIB. When I call ppm from outside of my Apache2/perl/lib/ I get ppm2 running. I don't remember if I changed it like this or if it is part of the mess. Anyway, I can still manage with ppm2. May be you have experienced something similar and might want to help me to overcome this.
