Thanks NaN :) -
I've got :
... ActivePerl v.5.8.8.822
... PPM v. 4.02, 2007 ActiveState SW. Inc.

c:\ppm install PPM-Profile
installs :
... C:\Perl\site\bin\ppmprofile.pl
... C:\Perl\site\bin\ppmprofile.bat
... C:\Perl\html\bin\ppmprofile.html


C:\Perl\site\bin>ppmprofile save C:\profile.xml
 ppmprofile.bat save is not supported for PPM4 yet at ppmprofile.bat line 94.

cat ppmprofile.bat :
.
.
91 sub save {
92    my $profile = shift @ARGV || 'profile.xml';
93    
94    die "$0 save is not supported for PPM4 yet" if PPM4;
95
96    open(my $fh, ">", $profile)
97      || die "Can't open profile file:" . "$profile ($!)";
.
.

OOps, seems my version of PPM doesn't support ppmprofile save / restore ... So I guess i'll have to try the other option in Upgrading from ActivePerl 5.8.x.

... 1 Use Window's Add / Remove Programs applet (accessible from the Control Panel) to uninstall ActivePerl.
... 2 Manually delete all directories beneath the Perl installation directory (by default C:\Perl) except the site\lib directory.
... 3 Install ActivePerl to the same directory (i.e., C:\Perl).
... 4 Use the ppm upgrade command to check for module updates.

Has anyone tried that yet ?
Best regards /
allan
