Erroe while installing packages from PPM in windows

[koti688]

I have installed Perl version 5.8.9 and when i am trying install some packages from ppm it erroring out like

File-Copy-Recursive-0.38.tgz. is downloaded
blah..blah
and then
Can't extract files from C:\DOCUME~1\lyang\LOCALS~1\Temp\ppm-gb6zTV/File-Copy-Recursive-0.38.tgz.

Could you please tell me what could be the problem ???

Works ok for me on ActivePerl-5.8.9 (build 825):

C:\>ppm install File-Copy-Recursive
Downloading File-Copy-Recursive-0.38...done
Unpacking File-Copy-Recursive-0.38...done
Generating HTML for File-Copy-Recursive-0.38...done
Updating files in site area...done
   2 files installed

Can you show us the output of ppm repo describe 1
That would enable us to find the File-Copy-Recursive.tar.gz that you can't extract ... and we could then check to see that file is ok.

Cheers,

also output of ppm log would help
