in reply to Module Installs

Something definatly seems broken in build 631. Using ppm3:
ppm> install Data-Dumper Error: PPD for 'R:/inetpub/wwwroot/www2.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5. +6lus/Data-Dumper.ppd' could not be found.
Using ppm, it can't find Data::Dumper at all. This is a bit frustrating as it makes installing XS modules a bit tricky. I tried a couple of pure perl modules, HTML::Template and Mail::Sendmail and they installed OK.

I then had the cunning idea to try to see if ppm3 would install a pure perl module and it tries to install HTML::Template::Expr when you choose HTML::Template and then fails as it isn't in that location on the R:\ drive.

I'm going to go send this off to Activestate as a bug and see if I can find an older version to install.
