Hi,
Here follows a post I sent to ActiveState's ppm mailing list about 24 hours ago:

<quote>

Is it possible to have the one ppd file download, unpack and install more than one tarred and gzipped blib file.

That is, instead of having just one "<CODEBASE HREF= ..." line, I'm looking for the option of having multiple such "<CODEBASE HREF=...." lines present in the one ppd file, such that a number of different tarred and gzipped blib files are dowwnloaded, unpacked and installed.

Possible ? ... or do I have to put the additional files into their own separate ppm distro and pull them in with "DEPENDENCY NAME".

Btw, is there a difference between DEPENDENCY NAME and REQUIRE NAME ?

It's a very low volume mailing list, and no replies yet.
So I thought I might repeat the post here.

I've a vague notion that, at some time in the past, I've come across a ppd file that would install multiple perl modules, but I'm currently unable to locate such an example.

Cheers,
Rob
