Re^7: ActiveState Perl 10.x and Crypt::SSLeay not installed errors on Windows 2003

Unfortunately, the PPM problem seems to run deeper than just the problem with the errant ppds at uwinnipeg. I also tried the 5.10 PPD at bribes, which at least appears to be a proper PPD, but when I try and install it:

C:\Perl510\bin>ppm-shell

This string:

arch = MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10
[download]

seems to match this one:

    <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10" />
[download]

so on the basis of what information is PPM deciding that The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform? I made a half hearted attempt to work through the internals of ppm to discover that, but got lost.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

If you followed the link I gave above *[uwinnipeg]*, you would see that the file `Crypt-SSLeay.ppd` contains: `OpenSSL glue that provides LWP https support Joshua Chamas <josh (at) +chamas dot com> install_ssl` [download] which doesn't look much like a ppd to me?

which doesn't look much like a ppd to me When I click on that link I get: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <SOFTPKG NAME="Crypt-SSLeay" VERSION="0,53,0,0"> <TITLE>Crypt-SSLeay</TITLE> <ABSTRACT>OpenSSL glue that provides LWP https support</ABSTRACT> <AUTHOR>Joshua Chamas <josh (at) chamas dot com></AUTHOR> - <IMPLEMENTATION> <OS NAME="MSWin32" /> <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8" /> <CODEBASE HREF="http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Crypt-SSLeay.t +ar.gz" /> <INSTALL EXEC="PPM_PERL" HREF="http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/scr +ipts/install_ssl">install_ssl</INSTALL> <PROVIDE NAME="Crypt::SSLeay" VERSION="0.51" /> <PROVIDE NAME="Crypt::SSLeay::Conn" /> <PROVIDE NAME="Crypt::SSLeay::CTX" /> <PROVIDE NAME="Crypt::SSLeay::Err" /> <PROVIDE NAME="Crypt::SSLeay::MainContext" /> <PROVIDE NAME="Crypt::SSLeay::X509" /> <PROVIDE NAME="Net::SSL" VERSION="2.77" /> </IMPLEMENTATION> </SOFTPKG> [download] Sometimes I've found that you have to "View Source" to see what's really there. For example, when I go to the bribes ppd I get: `OpenSSL support for LWP David Landgren (david@landgren.net)` [download] But when I "View Source" I see: <SOFTPKG NAME="Crypt-SSLeay" VERSION="0,57,0,0"> <TITLE>Crypt-SSLeay</TITLE> <ABSTRACT>OpenSSL support for LWP</ABSTRACT> <AUTHOR>David Landgren (david@landgren.net)</AUTHOR> <IMPLEMENTATION> <OS NAME="MSWin32" /> <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" /> <CODEBASE HREF="Crypt-SSLeay-0.57-PPM56.tar.gz" /> </IMPLEMENTATION> <IMPLEMENTATION> <OS NAME="MSWin32" /> <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8" /> <CODEBASE HREF="Crypt-SSLeay-0.57-PPM58.tar.gz" /> </IMPLEMENTATION> <IMPLEMENTATION> <OS NAME="MSWin32" /> <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10" /> <CODEBASE HREF="Crypt-SSLeay-0.57-PPM510.tar.gz" /> </IMPLEMENTATION> </SOFTPKG> [download] In both cases the ppd is valid. Incidentally, I'm equally puzzled as to why you get that error you reported when you try to install the bribes ppm of Crypt-SSLeay. For me, `ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd` works fine on 5.10. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
