I've tried that as well, it also doesn't work, I've even collared an adminstrator at my place of work and tried it as root and it still doesn't work. Neither does the activestate ppm repository. I suspect ppm is the problem at least in the later case. I have difficultly believing that the address http://dada.perl.it/PPM/ works because it produces error 403: forbidden when viewed through a web-browser. There again I don't know how ppm works and this maybe a perfectly normal error. The only conclusion I can come too is that ppm is broken under Windows 2000, is there a ppm mailing list that I can consult? The information in this e-mail is for use by the addressee(s) only.
