For some reason it appears that PPM is always checking "ActiveState Package Repository" first or giving it priority. Turning off that repository causes the correct results to be reported.

My list of repositories in the ppm utility only includes those for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8, which is why I don't find a CGI-Enurl package in the "ActiveState Package Repository" repository.	[reply]
