I have Activestate perl 5.8.9 (build 827) on Windows Vista. I recently noticed that every time I run ppm upgrade --install certain modules are processed every time with the same before and after version numbers. There are 84 modules that do this. I tried deleting C:\Perl\site\etc\ppm-site-area.db and letting ppm regenerate it, but the same thing still happens. I tried turning off all repos other than Activestate, but that did not help either. Turning the other repos back on regenerated their packing lists, but that also did not help. The most recent version of the modules exist in <b>\Perl\site\lib</b>, but the version ppm says I have is the version in <b>\Perl\lib</b>. Why does ppm look at \Perl\lib for the current version for only these 84 modules? I have run out of ideas to check, so I'm asking for the monastery's help in solving this perplexing riddle. Here is the list of modules affected, including the before and after version numbers reported by ppm. Thanks.
<p>
<b>Update:</b> I put the module list in readmore tags but they show up in the main display.
<p><b> Update2:</b> Just re-read "Markup in the Monastery". The readmore link only appears if the question is front-paged. My bad.
