*

* In order to install the modules listed below, you first have to run

*
*
*
* ppm repo add theory58S
*
*
*

Looks like you have network problems! Maybe a firewall? It's
quite a strange firewall if it won't let you access web pages from that
machine.

a proxy? Try setting up this system environment variable and
reconnect to the reps (make sure you either set it in the same cmd or
open a new cmd AFTER setting it in windows).

Variable Value
http_proxy http://<username>:<password>@<proxy>

substitute your information in. There's another solution
floating around where you set each piece of information individually
(http_proxy, http_user and http_pass) but it didn't seem to work for me.

It's worth getting ppm to work, manually installing modules is a pain

BTW checksetup.pl isn't up to date with Activestate's ppm, ie why repo
up isn't working. You might find it easier to run ppm's GUI, do this by
just entering ppm at cmd. Make the theory58S rep first in the list but
also make sure you keep the Activestate rep - it is required for most
things AFAIK.

The PPM program has changed in ActivePerl-5.8.8.820.
Therfore it's little different than described in the documents:

command promt window and set your http proxy(if needed):
set HTTP_proxy=http://proxy:port/

Then type "ppm" in the same command promt. You will get now the
graphical Perl Package Manager.

In the menu: Edit, Preferences, then tab Repositories you should see
theory58S
as one of the Repositories. doesn't matter.
Press then ok and select "View all packets" Button
With the search function you will find the needed packets and it
shows all available versions from the various repositories.
Mark the correct ones for installation and install them.
That's all

Max,

It is not so strange if you are working on a company network with a ISA
server. Web access is possible through a webbrowser, but is not when
using a CMMAND-box. Stuff like using proxy and authentication will be
nessesary.

If you keep getting 'no missing packages to install' while running 'perl checksetup.pl' keep showing that 'Email-Send' is not found, then it means that previous versions of 'Email-Send' is already installed.

The problem is actually with the 'checksetup.pl' where ....

if there are multiple version of Email-Send modules are found in your system, it will feedback 'no found'.
if there is an older version of Email-Send module found in your system, it will feedback 'found' but not-ok.

To double confirm this, make use of the PPM GUI by running 'ppm' from the command prompt, a pop-up windon 'Perl Package Manager' would be launched. Look out for all Email-Send modules installed.

The solution is to uninstall all previously installed modules. You can do this from the GUI 'Perl Package Manager' or just run 'ppm remove Email-Send'. This will get rid of all Email-Send modules in your system.

Then the next thing to do this to add the proper repository.

You see, all these mess is actually due to the problem with the default repository of ActiveState Perl and this repository brings with it the Email-Send version 2.05. Thus, since Bugzilla recommended the usage of ActiveState Perl, whenever one install ActiveState Perl, Email-Send version 2.05 will have already been installed by default.

The irony is Bugzilla requested to have Email-Send version 2.16 (or higher). And Email-Send version 2.16 or higher can be found at the repository recommended by the script 'Checksetup.pl', known as the alias 'theory58S'.

So, after you have get rid of all 'Email-Send' modules.

You must also get rid of all other repository by doing 'ppm repo delete <repo num>'

Then run 'ppm repo list' to make sure that there is not existing repository installed.

Then add repository 'theory58S' by doing 'ppm repo add theory58S <url>' as suggested by 'checksetup.pl'

The idea is to make sure that 'theory58S' is the choice of repository for obtaining 'Email-Send'.

Then run 'ppm install Email-Send'.

I guarantee that it will sure work. As at 30th July 2008, it will install Email-Send version 2.185.

Run 'checksetup.pl' again and you will see 'Checking for Email-Send (v2.16) ok: found v2.185'
