Greetings,

I've being trying to creating a PPD with PPM 4, but this tool looks crazy.

Here is the content of the PPD file:

<SOFTPKG NAME="DTS" VERSION="0,01,0,0">
  <TITLE>DTS</TITLE>
  <ABSTRACT>Perl classes to access Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Packages </ABSTRACT>
  <AUTHOR>Alceu Rodrigues de Freitas Junior <glasswalk3r@yahoo.com.br></AUTHOR>
  <IMPLEMENTATION>
      <DEPENDENCY NAME="Carp" VERSION="1,04,0,0" />
      <DEPENDENCY NAME="Class-Accessor" VERSION="0,27,0,0" />
      <DEPENDENCY NAME="Hash-Util" VERSION="0,05,0,0" />
      <DEPENDENCY NAME="Win32-OLE" VERSION="0,1704,0,0" />
      <OS NAME="MSWin32" />
      <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8" />
      <CODEBASE HREF="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8/DTS.tar.gz" />
  </IMPLEMENTATION>
</SOFTPKG>
This file was created automatically by executing nmake ppd after creating the makefile with the regular processes. After creating the tarball as described in the ActivePerl documentation, I received the following error when I try to install the PPD: 
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provide Hash-Util for DTS

The ppm utility cannot find the module Hash::Util, doesn't matter which method I use to search. If I check the perldoc, the Hash::Util module is there. Even if I install the module using nmake install, everything works fine.

I double checked looking at ppm area sync, but it didn't help. I listed all packages in both package areas (perl and site) and Hash::Util is not listed. But if I go the the directory on perl area, the module is there!

Is this a bug, or the Hash::Util module has any other name as a PPD, which I don't have the slightest idea how to guess? I supposed Hash::Util was provided by the regular ActivePerl installation, since I it was available by default after installing version 5.8.8.

Thanks all,

Alceu Rodrigues de Freitas Junior
