in thread Installing a module to a user area

Which instructions exactly? --> on the ppm manpage, under the 'ppm area init area' heading. I ran 'ppm area init area' afterwards. In the ppm GUI, I can see the new install area. I can even use the ppm GUI to install a CPAN package to the new area - only the docs aren't made available.

I don't think they were supposed do --> that would be a pity. Sure it's not just something I'm doing wrong?

    I don't think so. If you grep ...lib/ActivePerl/DocTools for INC/@INC/PERL5LIB/PERLLIB/PPM, you won't find anything to indicate the toc would be updated

    Maybe there is a toc built in the new area? Either way, I'd contact activestate, they might fix it :)

      I posted the question to ActiveState's PPM list more than a week ago and there was no reply. Maybe I'll have to live with it :-(
