To set up a local repository

  1. D/L all the PPD files for the modules concerned to a directory (perlmodules)
  2. Follow the links in the PPD to D/L the module tar.gz files.
  3. Create subdirectories for each relevant architecture and move archives to appropriate directory.
  4. Edit The location in each PPD to reflect a file://protocol and appropriate relative path (use '/') form for each architecture.
  5. start PPM
  6. set repository LOCAL d:\perlmodules
  7. search (best done on a box w/o inet access)
  8. If the modules show perform a test install. If it works you are ready to transfer to CDROM if not locate the mispelling or bad link and try again.
  9. reset your PPM LOCAL repository to the CDROM drive
  10. Issue a set save command to save configuration.
  11. Other stations only require the repository setting to access the CDROM. You may want to remove any other default repositories by issuing set repository --remove repositoryname.
