It's therefore rather baffling that some others end up with a dfferent version of Client.pm when they install build 1002.

I have build 1000. But that doesn't explain why Gavin had the problem with 1002?

    I guess the bottom line is that if someone else is tearing their hair out they may stumble up this thread albeit lengthy. Having to change /Perl/lib/ActivePerl/PPM/Client.pm is not optimal but it worked and I'm working and that is what counts:)

      There's still a couple of unresolved issues, however:

      1)You should not have needed to make any amendment to Client.pm with build 1002;
      2) The change you made wouldn't have had any effect on the behaviour of Client.pm.

      You changed the condition $] >= 5.008 to $] >= 5.010 but, on perl 5.10, both conditions evaluate as true. Afaict, all you've done is to replace one true condition with another true condition - which, for all intents and purposes, means you haven't changed anything.

      All that we seem to have established is that, if you're running build 1000 (which you weren't) and you want to use PPM, you need to either update to build 1002 or modify Client.pm. Other than that, it's all still a bit "up in the air" so to speak.

        ppm install failed: All available install areas are readonly.

        Anyone had that error message before and what was the solution?
