ppm3 is the name of the new console.
PPM.pm has not changed that much (a few bugfixes, some additions, but pretty much the same -- PPM::InstallPackage is there)

I for one dislike how ActivePerl handles the PPM distribution (no test suite is not good), but it's their product, so I can't do much about it (the last cpan release is PPM-2.1.6).

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo! I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests. ** The Third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.
