To clarify: You do not need to download anything in order to use PPM. It automatically fetches the ppd file from the server and installs it. An example; I run PPM from the Start Menu > Programs > Activestate ActivePerl 5.6 > Perl Package Manager. Then: PPM - Programmer's Package Manager version 3.0 beta 2.

Hi thks for your reply. I typed search * and obtained the statement below "Searching in repository 1 (ActiveState Package Repository) The system cannot find the path specified" Anyone knows what the problem is? By the way my perl is installed in my secondary drive and the default for the ppm tempdir is in my primary drive does that matter ??	[reply]
