Re^2: PPM Commands Fail with Method Not Implemented Error

Hi Adam,

Thanks for taking the time to help me out on this.

Yes I am behind a firewall and had set the environment variable per the instructions in the PPM FAQ.

Throwing up my hands in frustration, I dumped Perl 5.whatever that I had installed from some months ago (yes I'm relatively new to Perl) and just installed the latest 5.8.7. build. I have not yet tried everything but the search command now seems to work. Go figure.

Thanks for your help and the nmake link. Hopefully I will be able to use PPM to install modules.

Best Regards, Jim

Hello, On further testing it appears that the problem does indeed lie with the proxy server. It seems that the message "Method Not Implemented" is the server's way of saying "Huh?" Apparently having an environment variable that tells PPM there is a firewall is only half the battle. Looks like using PPM is ruled out as a way of installing modules. Jim	[reply]
