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

which doesn't look much like a ppd to me

When I click on that link I get:

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">

  </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.

For the record, I just tried the same command, i.e. `ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd` and it worked fine on 5.10 for me too.	[reply] [d/l]

So what am I doing wrong??? Nothing that I can see. I'm seeing the same ppd file as you, and I've got the same version of PPM (4.01). One difference is that when I run that `config list` command in the ppm shell, my output is simply `arch = MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10` . Could the problem lie with all that additional "gui.*" gunk that you're getting ? (I, too, like to avoid getting closely involved with PPM.) Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well I get the same output as you from the lwp-request, but a slightly different result from `ppm config list`: `arch = MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10 gui.filter = gui.filter.fields = name abstract gui.filter.type = installed gui.geometry = 568x535+154+154 gui.install_area = site gui.view.abstract = 1 gui.view.area = 1 gui.view.author = 0 gui.view.available = 1 gui.view.installed = 1 gui.view.name = 1 gui.view.repo = 0 gui.view.sortcolumn = name gui.view.sortorder = -increasing gui.view.statusbar = 1 gui.view.toolbar = 1` [download] But whether that helps or not is way over my head, I'm afraid. :-( Update: Hey, I just reread the OP title: "...errors on Windows 2003".

I see the exact opposite of you when clicking those links. uwinipeg require a view source, bribes doesn't. The "problem" with the uwinnipeg would just be the absence of a 5.10 implementation then. As for why the bribes works for you and not me? I really have no idea. As I showed, the architectural strings match, so what else could it be? PPM internals have gotten more and more complex and harder to follow. It's simply quicker and easier to build stuff manually. But that fails when you try things like Devel::Cover. Sure, when 5.12 comes out in what, say 3 years from now?, p5p may have "adopted" it and exported those symbols on a "no warranties" basis, just as they have Devel::Alias. But then there will be another package that won't build for similar reasons and we'll have to wait another 3 years...?
