It gives me the following error, does PPM also use proxy to connect to internet like cpan, if yes, do i need to enter proxy details in ppm configuration as well? `C:\>ppm install mingw ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides mingw C:\>ppm-shell ppm 4.10 (ActivePerl 1007) Copyright (C) 2010 ActiveState Software Inc. All rights reserved. ppm> install mingw ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides mingw` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You can, however, search for the mingw-package and install it.	[reply]

If you're running the 64bit version ActiveState don't provide MinGW: http://code.activestate.com/ppm/MinGW/. You can either install it yourself (Super Search) or use Strawberry Perl which ships with such things as standard, regardless of architecture. If you're not running 64bit ActiveState then you're going to have to provide more information, How do I post a question effectively?.	[reply]
