What do you get from the command: ppm area list?

Using 5.8.6 I get 

Error: neither 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ActiveState/PPM//InstallLo
+cation' 
nor 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/ActiveState/PPM//InstallLocation' 
found in registry at C:\Perl\bin\ppm line 16.

Which is remarkable if only to note that an AS error message actually contained some useful information :)

The other thing I noticed was the doubling of the path separators after PPM//?

Using 5.10.0 I get: 

C:\Perl510\bin>ppm area list

+─────┬───&#9472

M'thinks AS are trying too hard to be too clever.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
