Re: Try to use Perl 5.8.8 but Oracle 10g installed Perl 5.8.3

(2) How can I make PPM of Perl 5.8.3 by connecting to a correct repository?

I think the 2 repository addresses that 5.8.3 is using are correct. The first one, at least, works fine for me (using the PPM version that's currently on CPAN) - so I suspect that the problem you're having with 5.8.3's PPM lies with PPM itself, and not with the addresses it uses. Are there firewall/proxy issues ? See your perl/html/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html for how to deal with firewalls and proxies. Or perhaps Oracle is doing something that interferes with PPM's capacity to work properly.

ActiveState host a PPM mailing list if you get stuck.

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Rob. Based on your hint, I found the problem and fixed. Post my solution here for sharing. Cause: firewall/proxy issue Fix: Read http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/5.8/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html Especially, this part: you must include "http://" BTW, I found that I could use the newest repository URL http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.8/820/ (come with Perl 5.8.8) for my Perl 5.8.3.
