Re^2: Installing CPAN modules without using 'ppm'by LittleGreyCat (Scribe) |

Thanks for the suggestion about Mini::CPAN. I thought I was sorted, but today on further testing I have realised that I was hopelessly over-optimistic. I have just twigged that a 'ppm' repository and a 'CPAN' repository seem to be different, even though you can find modules from CPAN in the ActiveState 'ppm' repository. My original problem was that I couldn't install some modules downloaded from CPAN and also couldn't install some modules interactively using 'MCPAN'. However I could install using 'ppm'.
I hadn't realised that 'ppm' uses the ActiveState repository and not the CPAN mirrors. I may have to backtrack and fix my CPAN problems after all.
Cheers
