perlquestion jgamble <p>I got around to updating ExtUtils-MakeMaker v6.58 via Activestate's PPM. Unfortunately, PPM claims there is a problem:</p> <readmore> <tt> Synchronizing Database ... done<br> ExtUtils-MakeMaker marked for install<br> Installing package ... <br> Downloading ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.58 ... done<br> Unpacking ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.58 ... done<br> Generating HTML for ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.58 ... done<br> Updating files in site area ... failed<br> Installing package failed<br> <br> ERROR: File conflict for 'C:/Perl64/html/site/lib/CPAN/Meta/Converter.html'.<br> The package CPAN-Meta has already installed a file that package ExtUtils-MakeMaker<br> wants to install.<br> </tt> </readmore> <p>I'm a little confused. Looking at ExtUtils-MakeMaker on CPAN, I don't see any CPAN-Meta-Converter module, so why does PPM think one is being installed?</p> <p>I presume this will require fixing by hand? What's recommended? Should I uninstall this version of ActivePerl and install another version?</p> <p>This is using PPM version 3.11; ActivePerl version 5.12.2.1203.</p>
