Hi Adrian
I had a corrupt version of ppm. I re-installed and it works.
Thanks

You may have some version conflict, or a broken download. I tried the steps
I wrote you about and it worked.
Maybe you can download the package again and try a new install.
Best wishes,

HI Adrian
I downloaded the package from ActiveState not CPAN as I mentioned in
my e-mail and I am attempting to install the package locally but I still get
the error.
Thanks

PPM is designed to install ActiveState packages. If you downloaded something
from CPAN, it is unlikely to work directly with PPM.
If you will search the ActiveState documentation (installed by default), you
will see at "ActivePerl FAQ"-> "Using PPM",
"PPM, Proxies and Firewalls" something like this:
"NOTE: If none of the changes in this document work for you, you may
download individual packages from here [ActivePerl 613 and later] or here
[ActivePerl 522 and earlier] and install them according to the directions in
the README file contained within the ZIP file."
You will have to follow the appropriate link to download the package, unpack
the downloaded zip file (Tk.zip) and do as instructed by the README file:
"To install this ActiveState PPM package, run the following command
in the current directory:
ppm install Tk.ppd
"
In fact, you should open a command window (I assume you are on Windows),
change your directory to the drive and directory you unzipped the package
and issue the PPM command.

Subject: ActivePerl PPM Question
Hi All
Has anyone used ActivePerl's Perl Package Manager to install CPAN
packages? I down loaded the Tk package and I am trying to install it locally
with the following command
ppm install Tk.ppd
and I get the following error:
Failed to load PPM_DAT file
Can someone tell me what I need to do to correct this error.
Thanks
Bill Conrad
