How to register this repository

GUI version of PPM (ActivePerl 5.8.8.820 and above)

From the Preferences menu, add this url:


http://ppm.tcool.org/archives/

I strongly recommend to disable (click yellow icons of) other repositories, especially ActiveState's. Also, avoid ActivePerl 5.8.8.818 and 819. PPM bundled with these builds are somewhat broken and backward-incompatible.

CUI version (ActivePerl 5.8.8.817 and below)

Type at a DOS prompt:


ppm rep add tcool http://ppm.tcool.org/server/ppmserver.cgi?urn:PPMServer

then you'll have yet another searchable PPM repository at hand.

And also I recommend to type 'rep up tcool' several times in the PPM shell. Other repositories with higher priority may be the cause of problems.
