PPM experience (Score:1)

by rkobes (1699) on 2008.03.13 0:17 (#61624) Homepage
I tried out PPM, and it needed a couple of additional things:
- installation of SOAP::Lite
- a patch to PPM.pm found on perlmonks [perlmonks.org]
- setting an appropriate ppm build directory via, for example, ppm set build C:\Temp
After this, installation of, for example, GD worked fine.

  I'm looking into this problem.
  
  The main problem is that I can't patch anything properly, and the CPAN distropref system needs system patch.
  
  So I've gotten gnu patch installing into the distro, and I'm working on getting distropref patch support working.
