in reply to Odd behaviour noted under Win32

You don't mention
For soem reason, ppm does not find it on my NT WS box!
What's your current working directory? Can you give an overview of how you go about it? Something like this:
G:\Wx\OpenGL-0.54-win32-5.6.1>dir OpenGL* 08/26/2003 03:12p 165,588 OpenGL-0.54_5.6.1.tar.gz 08/26/2003 10:28a 390 OpenGL.ppd 2 File(s) 165,978 bytes 0 Dir(s) 216,797,184 bytes free G:\Wx\OpenGL-0.54-win32-5.6.1>ppm install --location=. OpenGL Installing package 'OpenGL'... Error installing package 'OpenGL': Read a PPD for 'OpenGL', but it is +not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-m ulti-thread) G:\Wx\OpenGL-0.54-win32-5.6.1>

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
