I am using ppm version 2.1.5 and it works just fine with Perl 5.6.1 Build 633 have you tried doing a verify --upgrade libwww-perl from the ppm prompt?

Subject: Installing Libwww-perl on ASPerl 5.6.1 Build 633 with PPM3
I have had considerable trouble installing libwww-perl on my AS Perl 5.6.1 Build 633 on WinNT 4.0.
I had been having some strange configuration problems with Perl, so I completely uninstalled AS Perl 5.6.1 Build 62x and installed AS Perl 5.6.1 Build 633. The installation went well and resolved all my configuration problems. I was able to get all the packages that I had been using, except for libwww-perl.
I have switched to PPM3 and as long as I remember the new syntax, I like the app. Here is what I get when I try to use PPM3 to install libwww-perl:
>D:\Projects\Perl>ppm3
>PPM - Programmer's Package Manager version 3.0.1.

>ppm>
I search for the package, find the package and ask PPm3 to install the package, and it replies - "'search' for it first." I usually respond with something impolite and drop the matter.
This morning after reading a note about libwww-perl and being available on Active State, I decided to try again. I got the above results from PPM3. So then I tried PPM. PPM has been non functioning since the install of Build 633. PPM spews out at me:
>D:\Projects\Perl>ppm
>Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at
>D:/Bin/Perl/site/ lib/PPM.pm line 1684. Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must
>contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at D:/Bin/Perl/site/ lib/PPM.pm line
>1684. Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at
>D:/Bin/Perl/site/ lib/PPM.pm line 1684.
>Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at D:/Bin/Perl/site/

>Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at D:/Bin/Perl/site/
>lib/PPM.pm line 1684.
>PPM interactive shell (2.1.6) - type 'help' for available commands.
>PPM> search libwww
>PPM>
The PPM prompt is returned immediately after the "search libwww".
Any suggestions for getting libwww-perl installed or for getting PPM working again?
Thanks.
