Hi Monks,

I have a server with perl5.8 and perl10 installed on it, (c and d drives respectively). My problem is that I'm trying to install a number of modules for perl10, but ppm is showing that these are already installed under 5.8, so isn't installing them.

I can of course force the install... 

ppm install Catalyst-Devel -area Perl10 -force

but there are a whole bunch of dependencies which don't get installed because ppm also thinks they are already there.

So, as I see it, I either need to get ppm to ingore the perl5.8 folders on the c drive (I'm only referencing perl10 in the environment), or get ppm to follow and install all depenencies, which seems excessive. Unfortunately, I can figure out how to do neither.

Thanks,

Rob

PS, my area list looks like this 

D:\Perl10\bin>ppm area list
+----------------------------------------+
¦ name       ¦ pkgs ¦ lib                ¦
+------------+------+--------------------¦
¦ Perl10     ¦    1 ¦ D:/Perl10/site/lib ¦
¦ (Perl10_2) ¦  n/a ¦ D:/Perl10/lib      ¦
¦ site*      ¦  123 ¦ C:/Perl/site/lib   ¦
¦ perl       ¦    1 ¦ C:/Perl/lib        ¦
