Re: ActiveState using a SOAP server for PPM?

[tinman]

Usually the ActiveState installation comes with all the packages that are required, which includes libnet.. Perhaps you don't have all of it installed ?

It might be a transient error, maybe you should retry again in a while.. if that doesn't work, go to the ActiveState module archives and try installing libnet manually.. ie: download the binary, and untar/ungz and type in "ppm install <modulename>.ppd"

Update:Yes, ActiveState PPM uses Soap::Lite, but this is just for network transport of information, you don't need to know it..

[$code or die]

He shouldn't need to install SOAP::Lite because ActivePerl installs everything it needs to run PPM when you install it.

However, this error looks like mvaline is sitting behing a proxy or firewall, in which case will need to have a look at the Using PPM documentation which deals with this.
