This may not be the correct forum for this question - sorry.
I was trying to install DBI on a new server where I had just installed Perl.
PPM aborts ---
PPM> install dbi
Install package 'dbi?' (y/N): y
Retrieving package 'dbi'...
HTTP POST failed: 500 (Can't connect to www.activestate.com:80 (Bad hostname
'www.activestate.com'), <> line 3.
), in SOAP method call. Content of response:
at C:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/SOAPClient.pm line 222
Line 222 says:
my $result = $soap->send_receive(
$self->{'_server'},
$self->{'_urn'},
$method,
$soap_request );
What is the probable cause of this error?
