Thanks, Rob. I have been struggling to install I::M for Strawberry 5.30 on Win Server 2016. From a cmd prompt run as Administrator, I am getting two errors:

C:\Windows\system32>ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Image-Ma +gick_.ppd --force Unknown option: force Installing package 'http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Image-Magick_.ppd'.. +. Bytes transferred: 127690 Files found in blib\arch: installing files in blib\lib into architectu +re dependent library tree cannot remove directory for C:\Users\Administrator\.ppm/Image-Magick_- +5188: Permission denied at C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/PPM.pm line +490.

But it looks as though I::M is working. :-)

Regards,

John Davies

    Thanks for the feedback davies.
    I'm not sure that --force is really an unknown option. However, with perl-5.30.0, use of --force should no longer be needed.

    I think the attempt to remove C:\Users\Administrator\.ppm/Image-Magick_-5188 is just a post-installation cleanup whose failure should not affect the I::M functionality.
    I've come across that problem before, and never really worked out the mechanism by which permission is denied.
    You can probably delete that directory manually if it actually exists && you want to get rid of it.

    Annoyingly I'm not even able to successfully use ppm here, owing to some mysterious http access restrictions - so I can't test things out myself.

    Cheers,
    Rob
