Hi All,

/me pounds head against wall for the past half hour...

I'm trying to install ppd packages for activestate perl build 806. I am on a stand alone network, and I'm trying to install a ppm package...

C:\az>dir
<snip>
Archive-Zip.ppd
</snip>
C:\az>ppm install -force Archive-Zip.ppd
Error: No valid repositories: Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm.activest
+ate.com:80

[download]

Of course, this would be expected if I was trying to install the module over the network, but I'm not... The ppd file is in the current directory!

/me takes a deep breath...

Any clue what is going on? Thanks.
