I installed PPM2 as well as PPM3 Beta and I am still not able to get the Perl Package installed. Looks like a config issue. This is what I get:
With PPM2: Install package 'HTML-Template?' (y/N): y Installing package 'HTML-Template'... Error installing package 'HTML-Template': Could not locate a PPD file for package HTML-Template ***** I do not have the PPD file with the downloaded tar file. With PPM3: C:\Perl\bin\ppm3-bin.exe: error: 'C:\p4view\Apps\ActivePerl\MSI\data\ActivePerl\ Perl\site\lib/ppm-conf/ppminst.bat' is not executable at PPM/Installer/Local.pm line 53. **** I do not have a p4view directory on my machine.
