I'm trying to set up BugZilla. I believe that there is an installer that will create everything, but I have other MySQL databases that I don't want to damage, so I'm trying to follow the instructions here. The following is a cut down transcript from my command prompt: 
Z:\BugZilla>perl checksetup.pl
* This is Bugzilla 3.6.2 on perl 5.10.0
* Running on WinXP/.Net Build 2600 (Service Pack 2)

Checking perl modules...

and then re-run this script):

Z:\BugZilla>ppm install Template-Toolkit
No missing packages to install

I'm a bit worried by the "Version string" messages, but the issue doesn't seem to be down to versions. The best guess I can make is that the PPM GUI shows two "areas", "site" and "perl". The two modules are in "site" but not "perl". Attempts to install them using the PPM GUI overwrite the site versions, and I can see no way of coercing them into perl. The manual describes how to add areas but not how to install to them.

I may be suffering from an XY problem here, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

John Davies
