http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/ppm/3379073 seems to indicate that perhaps ActivePerl 5.8.8.819 has no capacity to extract from a zip
I have downloaded 5.10.0.1003 in the hope that this will get around the problem but it won't install over the top of the existing installation. Does anyone have any experience of uninstalling ActivePerl then installing a newer version? Will it require me to reinstall everything or will it remember it somehow? I really don't want to go through it all again - I am playing around with setting up ActivePerl on another system in the hope that I can get it where I need and perhaps copy the structure across but it's giving me errors like: Unpacking perl-ldap-0.34...ppm install failed: Can't extract files from C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ppm-GELdUI/perl-ldap-0.34.tgz I can't seem to get ahead right now and any further help is appreciated. Otherwise I guess I'm going back to 1.3.3.10 :-/ -----Original Message----- I added UWinnipeg then disabled it as well as the ActiveState repo ppm install --force Mail::SPF still returns: ppm install failed: Don't know how to unpack http://trouchelle.com/ppm/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8/Mail-SPF-v2.005.zip I wonder if there's a way to extract some files from http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JM/JMEHNLE/mail-spf/Mail-SPF-v2.005.tar.gz and have them installed manually. I'm sorry if I sound ignorant but the only time I ever deal with PERL is when working with ASSP, and those times are very rare. -----Original Message-----> Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...not modified > ppm install failed: Don't know how to unpack > http://trouchelle.com/ppm/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8/Mail-SPF-v2.005.zip add the following repositories to ppm http://trouchelle.com/ppm/package.xml http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.lst i.e. use the commands ppm rep add Trouchelle http://trouchelle.com/ppm/package.xml ppm rep add UWinnipeg http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.lst next, disable any other repositories and leave only the Trouchelle one enabled; at this point do a search and you'll find the updated SPF package; do a force install and then re-enable the repositories ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Assp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-user ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Assp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-user
