ppm area failed: Uninitialized install area user

That's interesting. What does ppm area list report ?
It so happens that I have build 827 (in a largely-unmeddled-with form) and for me it reports that I have 2 areas:

site*:  C:/_32/ap827/site/lib
and
perl: C:/_32/ap827/lib

I then get:

C:\_32>ppm area sync
Syncing site PPM database with .packlists...done
Syncing perl PPM database with .packlists...done

Do you have a 'user' area that hasn't been assigned a value ?

Cheers,

ppm area list gives me:

+--------+------+------------------+
| name   | pkgs | lib              |
+--------+------+------------------+
| (user) |  n/a | C:/Perl/site/lib |
| perl   |  178 | C:/Perl/lib      |
| site*  |  732 | C:/Perl/site/lib |
+--------+------+------------------+

and hence the error message "ppm area failed: Uninitialized install area user". Any ideas where this (user) area came from and how I can remove it?

You can always install the old PPM 2 series :D, though I recommend doing so in a PERLLIB
