in reply to Problems with PPM under ActivePerl 5.8.4.810
Greetings Fellow Monk:
As one of the steps taken I see that you did install/uninstall the ActivePerl.
Question for you: Did you install 5.8.4.810 new or did you already have a previous version of ActiveState Perl, say 5.8.3.809, already inplace?
In the past, with the same OS, I have had a similiar problem(s) with the PPM whereby it either does precisely what you have mentioned (PPM essentially freezes), or PPM reports the previous version.
The apparent problem: It appears that Active Perl and the PPM are not completely un-installed when you go through the 'normal un-install procedure. 'Things', (files, dirs, etc.) are left behind.
SOLUTION:
Once you have completed the normal un-install procedure, go and search for directories such as:
C:\perl\
C:\Program Files\ActiveState\PPM\ (I have seen this in older versions)
and....DELETE THEM!
This course of action solved the problem that you mentioned for me when I encountered it. I have reported these problems to ActiveState a few versions ago.
Best of Luck..... I hope this helps.
