Actually, yes. It failed the same way.

Here's how I just added the bribes repo to my list on ActivePerl build 1202 (5.12.2):
C:\_32>ppm repo add http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...done
Downloading www.bribes.org packlist...done
Updating www.bribes.org database...done
Repo 2 added.
C:\_32>
Maybe you need to include the 'www.' in the url.

Thanks for the detailed advice. I copy-pasted your command into the console. Got no error message, "Repo 2 added" - everything seems fine.
But in PPM, I see this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lofarkas/5183303392/
0 packages as you can see, and HTML::Strip is still not in the module list.

Odd - I get:
C:\_32>ppm search HTML-Strip
1: HTML-Strip
Perl extension for stripping HTML markup from text.
Version: 1.06
Author: Alex Bowley (kilinrax@cpan.org)
Repo: www.bribes.org
CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-Strip-1.06/
C:\_32>
What does the same command return for you ?
As I write this, however, the bribes repo appears to be unreachable.
Even ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/HTML-Strip.ppd (which doesn't even need bribes on the repo list) hangs. I'm not sure how long it has been like this ... or for how long these conditions will last. I'll send the owner of the repo a message, just in case he's unaware of this.

This limits what I can do with perl quite severely... I don't want to install modules manually if I can avoid it. Should I uninstall activeperl 5.12 and install an earlier version? Any tips on how to get this to work? It's a bone stock Win7 install on a brand new computer and the newest ActivePerl - there is no reason for it not to work, but it just doesn't. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

Have you contacted ActiveState for help?

No... I was hoping this would be a matter of some simple setting. Now I've tried disabling my antivirus and setting up a connection without a firewall... no change.
If there's no answer here, I'll post in the activestate forum, perhaps they will have a solution.

I decided I had had enough. I uninstalled AP 5.12 and installed 5.10... Same problem.
So I decided to just nuke that as well and installed the exact same 32-bit 5.10 that I have on my XP machine. This one works, at long last. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

I know this is old but I stumbled upon it so I figured some one else might.
I fixed the "Read only" Error by running a CMD as Administrator and running PPM. It opened the GUI and I was able to mark all packages for upgrade. I assume it will work the same for adding repos as well.
