My ppm has stopped working on my Win98SE Pc. I de-installed perl (5.6.0) and
reinstalled it.. still ppm does not function. I just downloaded a ppd module
off of activestate.. unzipped it and typed (at DOS prompt):

ppm install mailtools.ppd

it comes up with an error about not being able to locate a binary
distribution for my platform.  There IS a x86 directory with a
"mailtools.tar.gz" file in it.

The major problem is when I try to get a list of available packages. I just
type "search" at the ppm command prompt. I see alot of modem activity... but
nothing prints to the screen. After waiting many minutes.. I must Control-C
out of ppm.

It has been out of functionality for several weeks. I posted here for ideas
before.

Please share your ideas

Thanks
Chuck
