Hello,
I am facing a problem while installing DateTime module through PPM.
when i do a
ppm> search DateTime
i get the following result
1. Bundle-DateTime [0.11] Bundle with all DateTime related modules
2. DateTime [0.1701] DateTime base objects
3. DateTime-Calendar-C~ [0.02] Coptic Calendar System.
.................
....................
...................
Which indiactes it can find DateTime module. But now when i try to install
using
ppm> install DateTime
I get a message
Error: no suitable installation target found for package DateTime.
the repositories in which PPM is searching are
ppm> rep
Repositories:
[1] ActiveState Package Repository
[2] ActiveState PPM2 Repository
I have installed other modules from the ppm but this specific module is
createing some problems.
Kindly suggest.
BTW: i am using ActivePerl 5.6.1
thanks and regards
SK
You might like using tk-ppm.. its pretty allright
Also here is a list of repositories that comes from a cool module called

with tk-ppm it is very easy to add these urls and install packages.
