Re: Activeperl ppm problem with gzread

It happened to me a few times, when I tried installing a newer version of Archive::Tar.

Run the *.msi installer again, that should fix it.

However, you really don't need the commandline ppm utility to install ppm packages, just see my repository for directions.

update: What is your $Archive::Tar::VERSION (should be 0.072)?

Well, I've finally cracked it. Nothing clever on my part and your hints pointed me in the right direction. I replaced my ActivePerl build 631 with build 633, retried the ppm install and it all worked fine! I noticed as part of the upgrade that my $Archive::Tar::VERSION changed to 0.072 (I swear it claimed to be 0.22 before the re-install - bizarre). Cheers.	[reply]
