Re: PPM upgrade -install, pain, confusion, etc

Have you tried install -force -follow PAR? Try that. I can't remember the last time I used upgrade.

update: On the other hand, if you simply download PAR from CPAN, and run Makefile.PL, if you don't have a compiler, PAR will essentially download and install a PPM for you (for example: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/A/AU/AUTRIJUS/PAR-0.85-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.4.par).

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

Hey, thanks. Yeah, I don't have nmake or a compiler or anything on the windows box... I'll remember this though. Run makefile and it installs ppms ... odd.	[reply]
