C:\Perl64>md fred
Set perl5lib to point at it: C:\Perl64>set PERL5LIB=c:\perl64\fred
Issue the area init command: C:\Perl64>ppm area init fred
Syncing fred PPM database with .packlists...done
And there it is initialised: C:\Perl64>dir fred\*
03/03/2012 04:53 <DIR> .
03/03/2012 04:53 <DIR> ..
03/03/2012 04:53 <DIR> etc
C:\Perl64>ppm area list
┌───────┬──────┬────────────────────┐
│ name │ pkgs │ lib │
├───────┼──────┼────────────────────┤
│ fred │ 0 │ c:/perl64/fred │
│ site* │ 256 │ C:/Perl64/site/lib │
│ perl │ 207 │ C:/Perl64/lib │
└───────┴──────┴────────────────────┘
So then I tried to remove it, but there is no area delete command, so, first I wiped out the directory: C:\Perl64>rd /q /s fred
And tried area list:
C:\Perl64>ppm area list
┌────────┬──────┬────────────────────┐
│ name │ pkgs │ lib │
├────────┼──────┼────────────────────┤
│ (fred) │ n/a │ c:/perl64/fred │
│ site* │ 256 │ C:/Perl64/site/lib │
│ perl │ 207 │ C:/Perl64/lib │
└────────┴──────┴────────────────────┘
And there it was, I had recreated your symptoms. So now how to get rid of it? The first thing I tried was to delete the PERL5LIB var: C:\Perl64>set PERL5LIB=
And there it was all gone away:
C:\Perl64>ppm area list
┌───────┬──────┬────────────────────┐
│ name │ pkgs │ lib │
├───────┼──────┼────────────────────┤
│ site* │ 256 │ C:/Perl64/site/lib │
│ perl │ 207 │ C:/Perl64/lib │
└───────┴──────┴────────────────────┘
