Works ok for me on ActivePerl-5.8.9 (build 825): `C:\>ppm install File-Copy-Recursive Downloading File-Copy-Recursive-0.38...done Unpacking File-Copy-Recursive-0.38...done Generating HTML for File-Copy-Recursive-0.38...done Updating files in site area...done 2 files installed` [download] Can you show us the output of `ppm repo describe 1` That would enable us to find the File-Copy-Recursive.tar.gz that you can't extract ... and we could then check to see that file is ok.
