ppm version 3.0.1 Repository errors when installing DBD:Oracle

[Janet C.]

Hello All,
    I am trying to "install DBD::Oracle" using ppm version 3.0.1. I add the
repository using the following command in ppm:

 rep add http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6/

Then I get the following error when I try to do the install:

ppm> install DBD::Oracle
Missing base argument at C:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/Repository.pm line 174

It seems like a problem with the repository setting. And ideas how to get
around this.

Janet.
