Active State PerlLocal PPM Archive

[abhishes]

Hello All,

I have asked this question in many places but have never received any reply.

In my home, I do not have an internet connection. so from a internet connected PC I copied a lot of usefull PPM files into a CD. Now I want to register the CD as a PPM archive using PPM3.

When I issue the command
rep add "G:\ppm"
I got the error message

Can't locate object method "host" via package "URI::_foreign" (perhaps you forgot to load "URI::_for eign"?) at C:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/Repository/Local.pm line 18, <FIN> line 1.

Please help me. and pardon me if this is the wrong place to ask this. I did go the the perl mailing list of active state but there was absolute silense on this question.

regards,
Abhishek.

Very often, I download the modules as zip's from http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/5xx-builds-only/ or http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/ (e.g. with lwp-rget --limit=10000 --hier --depth=2 http://url, unpack them (e.g. with the winzip shell extensions) and install them in the shell the following way:

ppm install Modulename.ppd

(or under WinNT/2k/XP even all with:

for %i in (x:\as-packages\*.ppd) do ppm install %i 2>1 >> install.log

)

Best regards,
perl -e "s>>*F>e=>y)\*martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"
