    It gives me the following error, does PPM also use proxy to connect to internet like cpan, if yes, do i need to enter proxy details in ppm configuration as well?
    C:\>ppm install mingw ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides mingw C:\>ppm-shell ppm 4.10 (ActivePerl 1007) Copyright (C) 2010 ActiveState Software Inc. All rights reserved. ppm> install mingw ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides mingw
        I have done the correct proxy setting in command prompt, but i am still getting the same error msg.
