Hi monks,
I am trying to install Win32::API on windows 2000 server. I tried

ppm install Win32-API
[download]

got an error saying

Error: No valid repositories:
Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm.ActiveState.com:80 (Bad hostname 'ppm.
+ActiveState.com')
Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm.ActiveState.com:80 (Bad hostname 'ppm.
+ActiveState.com')
[download]

I tried to install it from other repository

ppm> rep add bdp http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/
Repositories:
[1] ActiveState PPM2 Repository
[2] ActiveState Package Repository
[3] test
[4] bdp
ppm> install Win32-API
[download]

again got an error

Error: Failed to download URL http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-API
+.ppd: 500
Can't connect to www.bribes.org:80 (Bad hostname 'www.bribes.org')
[download]

Any suggestions?
