Problem finding PPM modules for ActivePerl 64bit Betaby puploki (Hermit) |

puploki has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: 'lo monks,
I've been using the new beta of ActivePerl 64bit on my Windows x64 box and very good it is too. I've run into a small snag - using PPM to find and install modules doesn't seem to work:
I suspect this is because it's searching in a 64bit architecture repository and not finding much. I can understand this for things that use XS and compiled DLLs, but not for things that are just "regular" .pms. Is there any way to force PPM to fetch some 32bit modules instead? Update: Using CPAN and installing 64bit nmake from the Windows SDK has done the job. Ta all :) *wags* 2006-04-26 Retitled by planetscape, as per Monastery guidelines
