Re: Re: Re: Local Library Repository

Many Thanks for the help, I'll have ago and see, although I am struggling with point number 4, because I cannot find a PPD file for Lanman library (for example), and when tried the same thing with AdminMisc (In the PPD file, I edit the line
<CODEBASE HREF>="file://c:/perlmodules/adminmisc/adminmisc_5006.tar")
PPM came back with error "installing package and error reading the above file"?
uhmmmmm?!

You need to make the directory that holds the tar file the same as the architecture. It is expected by the ppm I believe. see Excerpt from storable below: storable.ppd `<SOFTPKG NAME="Storable" VERSION="1,0,10,0"> <IMPLEMENTATION> <CODEBASE HREF="file://f:/Perlmodules/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/Sto +rable.tar.gz" /> <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" /> <OS NAME="MSWin32" /> </IMPLEMENTATION> <ABSTRACT>persistency for perl data structures</ABSTRACT> <TITLE>Storable</TITLE> <AUTHOR>Raphael Manfredi (Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com)</AUTHOR> </SOFTPKG>` [download] As for those modules you don't have a ppd for checkout Activestate's docs How to make a PPM Package Talwyn	[reply] [d/l]
