You might also try ppm area sync and see if that does anything useful.
(I really don't know if it does :-)

    Thanks for the suggestion, but when I run ppm area sync i get the following error msg:

    ppm area failed: Uninitialized install area user

    "Its not how hard you work, its how much you get done."

      That's interesting. What does ppm area list report ?
      It so happens that I have build 827 (in a largely-unmeddled-with form) and for me it reports that I have 2 areas:

      site*:  C:/_32/ap827/site/lib
      and
      perl: C:/_32/ap827/lib

      I then get:
      C:\_32>ppm area sync Syncing site PPM database with .packlists...done Syncing perl PPM database with .packlists...done
      Do you have a 'user' area that hasn't been assigned a value ?

      Cheers,
      Rob
        ppm area list gives me:

        +--------+------+------------------+ | name | pkgs | lib | +--------+------+------------------+ | (user) | n/a | C:/Perl/site/lib | | perl | 178 | C:/Perl/lib | | site* | 732 | C:/Perl/site/lib | +--------+------+------------------+

        and hence the error message "ppm area failed: Uninitialized install area user". Any ideas where this (user) area came from and how I can remove it?

        "Its not how hard you work, its how much you get done."

      You can always install the old PPM 2 series :D, though I recommend doing so in a PERLLIB
