If you know the url of the .PPD file for the module you wish to install, then you can completely bypass the search: PPM> install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/SomePackage.ppd Google's usually much quicker to find them than the built-in search. Alternatively, if you know which repository has the module you want, you can disable the others before doing the search: ppm> repo list ┌────┬───────┬────────────────────────────────┐ │ id │ pkgs │ name │ ├────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────┤ │ 1 │ 12055 │ ActiveState Package Repository │ │ 2 │ n/a │ www.Bribes.org │ │ 3 │ 0 │ cpan.uwinnipeg.ca │ └────┴───────┴────────────────────────────────┘ (2 enabled repositories) ppm> repo off 3 ppm> repo list ┌────┬───────┬────────────────────────────────┐ │ id │ pkgs │ name │ ├────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────┤ │ 1 │ 12055 │ ActiveState Package Repository │ │ 2 │ n/a │ www.Bribes.org │ │ 3 │ n/a │ cpan.uwinnipeg.ca │ └────┴───────┴────────────────────────────────┘ (1 enabled repository) ppm> At this point, a search would only download the packlist for the AS repo. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
