ActivePerl not installing it does have Net-SFTP-Foreign

momandkp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have been trying to install Net-SFTP-Foreign and Net-SFTP-Foreign-Backend-Net_SSH2 and independent of the order or how I install (seems the backend SSH2 package pre-reqs Net-SFTP-Foreign and Net-SSH2), I keep running into

 Installing 3 packages failed

ERROR: File conflict for 'C:/Perl64/site/bin/libgcc_sis__470.dll'.
    The package Net-SFTP-Foreign-Backend-Net_SSH2 has already installe
+d a file that package Net-SFTP-Foreign
    wants to install.
[download]

This appears to be coming from the sisyphusion repo as the Net-SFTP-Foreign package on the ActiveState repository redirects and then gives an access error.

I don't have a lot of experienced in messing with Perl installs, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As Anonymous Monk has stated, you need to tell "ppm" to just install anyway. You do so by specifying `--force` at the end of your ppm command. This is covered at http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppmindex.html. It includes a link explaining the need for --force. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

Ignore it? Tell "ppm" to ignore the file conflict?	[reply]
