Re^2: Net::SCP ppm install fails

ActiveState provides zip files so that people can download them and install them on machines that do not have internet access. That particular usage of PPM is documented too (see perldoc ppm under the section on install).

Alright. Anyway if the package has some dependancies, it will be probably way easier to use the usual ppm interface instead of downloading files one by one - After all he needed internet to download the file in the first place - because ppms should install seemlessly, except when they don't meet some dependancies. BTW I mentioned I have no windows machine (thanks Dog) so I can't test ppm directly.	[reply]
