Re: PPM - area list lists multiple versions of perl

PPM uses the list of directories in @INC to generate the area names. I suspect you have the PERL5LIB or PERLLIB environment variables set to point to the directories of one of your Perl installations. That is generally not necessary, and potentially a bad idea if the different versions aren't binary compatible.

So just clearing the environment variable should get rid of the erroneous areas in PPM.

I did wonder this, but the only perl reference I have in my environment variables is the one in PATH to the correct version of perl ie "D:\Perl10\bin". Which would seem okay. Additionally, printing @INC looks good too... `D:\Perl10\bin>perl -e "print join ',', @INC"; D:/Perl10/site/lib,D:/Perl10/lib,.` [download] Cheers, Rob --- my name's not Keith, and I'm not reasonable.
