ppm3: http proxy
Hi all, I'm having a problem, using ppm3 over a HTTP proxy that requires authentication: If I set these environment var's HTTP_proxy HTTP_proxy_user HTTP_proxy_pass I can 'search' the Active Repository. But when I want to install a package I get this nasty error message: Error: error downloading 'path to the tar.gz file': 407 Proxy-Auth Can anybody explain me the reason, why search-ing works, while install-ing doesn't? Is there a solution (other than downloading the files via a browser and creating a local repository)?

I just downloaded one of the zips from: http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/ This enables one to see just what a correct ppd file looks like for 5.8. As Randy said, the architecture specification has a -5.8 appended to it. But the 'codebase href' requirement seems also to have changed. Instead of just providing the some-package.ppd (which, under ppm2, was all that was required) they are now giving MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8/some-package.ppd. I'm not sure if/how that relates to the ppm3 problem you're facing with 5.6. Anyway, I'd start by looking at the ppd in one of those 8xx zips and see if that helps solve the problem.

Currently it doesn't - this must be done by hand (the PPM::Make module on CPAN, in making the ppd file, will adjust the ARCHITECTURE to do this). I take it that installing packages from ActiveState works equally well from ppm2 and ppm3? Rob mentioned the href of the codebase - I don't know if this will help, but I noticed problems earlier when specifying this as relative.

ppm3 disabling ppm?
Since I tried out ppm3 on my Active Perl 5.6.1 Build 633, I am not able to use ppm anymore. Everytime I start ppm I get a few dozend of this message: Element 'IMPLEMENTATION' must contain a 'CODEBASE' element. at C:/Perl/site/lib/PPM.pm line 1684. Then I get the ppm prompt but neither query nor search return any content. They just return with no output. Is there a fix for this? Best regards, Reiner. -- -- -- Reiner Buehl Internet: P.O.

The last upgrade ended up with me completely and extensively uninstalling ActivePerl and then starting with a fresh install of ActivePerl. I had to go chasing down my collection of modules and reinstall them. I've seen others who have commented on similar problems. Is the upgrade process supposed to be more simple? Should one version be installable on top of the next? What about the entries in the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet? Does the previous version's entry get removed when and upgrade is done, or, is the upgrade really just an install on top of the existing system? Yes, upgrading is supposed to be more simple. You should be able to install a new version of ActivePerl on top of a previous one (as long as they are the same Perl version; don't install a build 6xx on top of a build 5xx). However, they are mostly just an install of one version on top of the previous one. Personally, I always uninstall the previous version and even manually remove the whole Perl directory tree before installing a different version. But I do this to make sure I have a clean and reproducible environment when I build or test software.

RE: PPM3 breaks with Error: connect: unknown error
I do not know if this is a contributing issue but the 'Path' statement on my W2K box does not include the trailing '\' as you show in your example. In other words my path looks like this: path=c:\perl\bin;c:\winnt; There are no trailing '\' back slashes after any of the path parameters. Does this make a difference?

Only the error message Command or File not found (this is the word for word translation from the German error message).

I tried to call PPM3 from the Dos-Promt directly without going to the interactive mode. The same error message. Error: connect: unknown error. and PPM3 quits. So you enter 'ppm3-bin' at the command prompt, and that gets you into the interactive ppm shell.What does your ppm3 prompt look like ? Is it: PPM3 or PPM3-BIN That's very weird, but then I don't know much about ppm3.

Then I downloaded Zip's and extraceted them to a local directory and changed the current working directory in my dos-window to the local package dir and called PPM3. Guess what? Right! The same error message. Hmm I think you should try re-installing perl. It's starting to sound like something was misplaced during installation - which can happen. (I think they give you the size of the download, so you can check that you received everything that you should have received.) I re-installed perl already. But this doesn't made it better.
