Re^2: Net::SCP ppm install fails

My use of ppm to install a downloaded module is an allowed method to install software! the activestate documentation discusses that if one cannot get ppm to work through a proxy, the modules can be downloaded as a zip file containing a .ppd file. This file is then installed with ppm install module-name.ppd I am using this method as I have done before; it worked on other packages (I installed Net::SSH, DBI, etc this way and they work properly). It does not work for Net::SCP only. What is the 'can't call method 'ok' on undefined value...' error? any thoughts? thanks

jcs296: I'm not (and wasn't) trying to suggest your method was illegal... but neither did I have the hint that you've now provided (re proxy difficulties) as to why you needed to use the alternate, .zip file method. and sorry, since I haven't explored that, I'm afraid any thoughts I might have would be of very little value.

The error message comes from the test scripts run during installation. For some reason the test fails; probably because the module miss a dependancy or another. If you really can't use the automated ppm install, then you'd want to check what modules Net::SCP depends upon, and install them first.	[reply]
