Yes. Something reverted the present module Text::Reform, 1.11, back to 1.10. I don't know what, but now ppm will no longer work. So I'll hack my way around it. Locate the Text/Reform.pm file. Make the file readable, open it in your text editor. Check that it is indeed version 1.10. Select everything. Next open the source from Text::Reform 1.10 on CPAN in your browser <http://search.cpan.org/src/DCONWAY/Text-Reform-1.11/lib/Text/Reform.pm> Select everything, and paste into your text editor, replacing everything that was there. Save the file. Now it's updated to 1.11, and ppm will work again normally. -- Bart.
