The 5.18 repository should be OK. You only have to change to a "newer" repository when changing to a new major version of Perl.

The problem is that the install presets the repository to http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x64/5.18/1800/package.xml, but that does not exist. And according to this page(scroll to bottom), there are currently no repositories available for 5.18.anything on any platform.

The 5.18 repository should be OK What 5.18 repository where ? Because, you know, ActiveState doesn't build them automatically PPM4 MSWin32-x64 404 errors. \| ActiveState Community Site Bug #55317 – Please create MSWin32-x64 PPM Repository - ActiveState Bugs PPM 5.18 repository doesn't work \| ActiveState Community Site CountZero program needs more everything :)	[reply]
