in reply to FYI: activeState, ppm and text::Autoformat

What I usually do is go to CPAN and download the current version of Text::Reform which most certainly has a break_at function (currently 1.11), and replace the Text::Reform that ActiveState PPM appears to (re)install with some modules which does not have the break_at function. Granted I am not saying this is the correct way to go about it, but I have not had time to track down why it some times seems to install a broken (or perhaps older version of)Text::Reform

    Looks like my ppm is a bit messed up. I ran a query on text::Reform as soon as I encountered the problem and it reported back that I had version 1.11. After your post I Looked at the source I saw that I had version 1.10 instead. I have since pulled it off of CPAN, undid the modifications to text::Autoformat.pm, and all is good with the world.

    thanks for the tip,
