Yeah, I'm getting the same:

ppm install failed: 302 Moved Temporarily

I'd say it's either some sort of temporary, planned outage ... or someone at AS has fucked up bigtime :-)

I'm subscribed to the PPM mailing list, so I'll send off a post to see if I can get further info. (If I get a reply, I'll post again to this thread.)

Update: At least, I *will* send off such a post if the pea-brained morons at Optus (my ISP) can ever get their mail server fixed ... geez, if it's not one thing ... now, where's that bottle of wine ...

Cheers,
Rob

    The ppm log command tells me there's a problem with ppm4.activestate.com. 2009-10-07T10:37:35 <6> Web.pm:63 GET http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1006/package.xm l ==> 302 Moved Temporarily (334 bytes in 0.25 sec - 1 KB/s) Setting the environment variable ACTIVEPERL_PPM_DEBUG=1 doesn't give me much more information. It just says there's a problem with lib/ActivePerl/PPM/Client.pm line 973. The URL prefix http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10 seems to be working but anything deeper than that makes my firefox browser say the page isn't properly redirecting.
