After every ActivePerl install I run attached script. It completely removes 
HTML generation, saving me a lot of time.

Can't really have been "infinite time", as you managed to send this
message *after* waiting that long. :)

So how long did you actually wait?  The HTML generation can be really
slow sometimes, so it might feel like it hangs, but it will eventually
finish, AFAIK.

Cheers,

Hi,
I am learning Perl on Windows and now I'm trying to install new packages with 
Perl Package Manager (PPM4).

The problem is this: when I install a package (for example BioPerl), 
everything works fine until I see the message "Generating HTML...". At that 
point everything freezes and PPM never finishes the installation.

I've also tried to install BioPerl with the command line, but the same thing 
happens: it takes an infinite time to generate that HTML.
Nevertheless I've noticed that if a package doesn't generate HTML during the 
installation process, it is installed properly.

Could you please help me with this problem?

Thanks, Moreno
