Re: Cannot use HTML::TokeParser

[initself]

When you use PPM, you need to be aware of two things:

1. The PPM module names most always have a '-' where you might expect a '::'. For instance, HTML::TokeParser becomes HTML-TokeParser.
   
2. You might need to include an additional repository in addition to the default ActiveState repository:
   
   ppm rep add trouchelle.com http://trouchelle.com/ppm/

   After running that command, you should see HTML-TokeParser available in your PPM.

bart is right. I deleted all perl related files, then reinstalled. Now it's working. But the trouchelle.com repository again not working for me. My ppm can't unpack the modules from the repository. Again why?

ppm can't unpack the modules from the repository

The trouchelle repository bundles the modules into zip archives (instead of the more usual tar.gz format), and older versions of ppm can handle only the tar.gz format.

However, since you're using perl 5.8.8, I would expect that you have a version of ppm that does handle the zip format. What do you get when you run ppm version ?

Also, which build of ActivePerl are you running ? I get:

C:\>perl -e "print $ActivePerl::VERSION"
822
C:\>
