hi

i'm trying to install a specific version of a module using ActiveState ppm3.

the problem i'm having is that when i search for the module "finance-yahooquote" it returns several different versions of it:
ppm> search yahooquote
Searching in Active Repositories
  1. finance-yahooquote [0.20] Gets stock quotes from Yahoo! Finance
  2. finance-yahooquote [0.19] (none)
  3. finance-yahooquote [0.20] Gets stock quotes from Yahoo! Finance
  4. Finance-YahooQuote [0.17] Get a stock quote from Yahoo!
  5. Finance-YahooQuote [0.18] (none)
  6. finance-yahooquote [0.19] (none)
  7. finance-yahooquote [0.20] (none)

[download]
Basically I want to install the newest version (0.20), but everytime I try to install the module, it only installs version 0.17.

Lets say I typed 'install 7' or 'install 3' which are versions 0.20, it will still automatically install version 0.17 for me.

I really need 0.20 instead of 0.17 because it is way more updated with extra features that I'm looking to use.

Is there anyway to bypass the ActivateState log for the module? I'm assuming it thinks 0.17 is the most updated version of this module and that when you install it it automatically installs 0.17 for you.

thanks! tanger
