PPM4 No Packagesby mikasue (Friar) |

mikasue has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I just downloaded ActivePerl-5.8.8.819-MSWin2. When I go to the ppm GUI no packages show up (installed nor available).
I heard rumor that the default repo url was incorrect, so I deleted it and added this one to no avail: http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.8/819I've added other repos and they all report 0 packages. I even used ppm -shell and entered ppm repo and it showed the repositories with 0 packages. Has anyone had this problem with the PPM GUI? Can anyone give me suggestions on how to populate this GUI with packages? I must admit I did install perl in a directory other than C:\. Would this have any bearings on where the packages are being pulled from?
Update: Using the shell I see a status:500. Don't know if this is an error message. Anyone know? Downloading ActiveState packlist...status 500Downloading www.bribes.org packlist...status 500
