in thread io-socket-ssl missing!

The UWinnipeg repository link takes me to a download site for the tar file, which doesn't contain a ppd file, unfortunately. I'm running 64-bit Win7 - could that be a problem?

    What? Add the uwinnipeg repository to your repository list
      I have done that. The io-socket-ssl package does not show up in the Package manager list. It's weird. When I attempt to load the package using the command line PPM, I get "ppm install failed: No PPD found at http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/io-socket-ssl" -socket-ssl.ppd"
        When I attempt to load the package using the command line PPM, I get "ppm install failed: No PPD found at http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/io-socket-ssl" -socket-ssl.ppd"

        It seems you have a stray quote and a space in your URL (underlined above). I would double check the configuration for the repo.

        Sure, whatever you say http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/IO-Socket-SSL.ppd
