I lost my ability to install modules on my NT in my ppm. It was working until last week.

Message error:
[red]
PPM> install Net-Ping
Install package 'Net-Ping?' (y/N): y
Retrieving package 'Net-Ping'...
Error installing package 'Net-Ping': Could not locate a PPD file for package Net
-Ping
PPM> install Net-Telnet
Install package 'Net-Telnet?' (y/N): y

Error installing package 'Net-Telnet': Could not locate a PPD file for package N
et-Telnet[/color]


I even tried reinstalling Active perl and got same errrors.
 
Not quite sure what your problem is but it could be one of the following:

1) your repository path is set incorrectly
Try running 'search Net-Telnet'. This should find the packages "Net-Telnet" and "Net-Telnet-Cisco". It also should show you the path where packages were found.

2) your using a proxy
Check out the ActivePerl FAQ section "Using PPM".

Hope this helps.
