Perl and PPM problems (includes bug fix)

Hi,

I'm unable to run PPM with the Windows version of XAMMP. Whenever I run it, I get this:

Code: Select all
C:\apachefriends\xampp\perl\bin>ppm
PPM - Programmer's Package Manager version 3.1.
Copyright (c) 2001 ActiveState Corp. All Rights Reserved.
ActiveState is a devision of Sophos.

Entering interactive shell. Using Term::ReadLine::Stub as readline library.

Type 'help' to get started.

ppm> rep add Bugzilla http://landfill.bugzilla.org/ppm
Repositories:
[1] ActiveState PPM2 Repository
[2] ActiveState Package Repository
[3] Bugzilla
ppm> install AppConfig
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Error: connect: Unknown error


I think the error is due to installation problems. When going through the Config.pm file, I cound that a lot of paths were specified as

Code: Select all
c:c:\apachefriends


Originally, ppm wouldn't even start, complaining about the registry key. Once I fixed the problems with "c:c:", it ran but with the above result.

Can anyone help me out?

Danke,

L
