(2) How can I make PPM of Perl 5.8.3 by connecting to a correct repository?

I think the 2 repository addresses that 5.8.3 is using are correct. The first one, at least, works fine for me (using the PPM version that's currently on CPAN) - so I suspect that the problem you're having with 5.8.3's PPM lies with PPM itself, and not with the addresses it uses. Are there firewall/proxy issues ? See your perl/html/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html for how to deal with firewalls and proxies. Or perhaps Oracle is doing something that interferes with PPM's capacity to work properly.

ActiveState host a PPM mailing list if you get stuck.

Cheers,
Rob
